The purpose of this website begins as a vaguely defined set of ideas and imaginings. First and foremost in this endeavor is my love for natural settings. This began in of all places, New Jersey. My older brother used to have to tolerate me following him around and he would get into all kinds of places. The one's I found most fascinating were his hunting around for insects. There was a small woodlot down at the end of our street where we would play and a large park just a block away in another direction. Not very wild mind you, but where I grew up we could go just about anyplace.
