About That Kestrel
4 hours ago
I am a nature writer and educator who has lived all over the US and abroad, including many seasons working in Sequoia National Park. For now, I make my home in the New River Valley of southwestern Virginia at the confluence of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. I currently teach courses in nature and environmental writing and creative nonfiction in Chatham University's low-residency MFA program. All my writing focuses on the intricacies of place and I am particularly interested in the portrayal of animals in folklore, myth, science, and natural and cultural history in order to meditate on the complexities of human-animal relationships.

ReplyDeleteShe is so precious! What a great example you are setting for her, Mel. :) I love your photos, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brigette. It was hard to choose from the 268 photos ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I loved her response to you asking why she was taking so many photos. And the pictures you posted did capture some great things! 268 is quite a number...I was always quite partial to sparkly shoes so I'm glad they made a documented appearance.
