Nature Hunt

"There should be a society for the documentation of plain and simple fact!"  

  Ansel Adams

"We are a part of the web...whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves."  

  Chief Seattle

     There are two key tenets to this biologist's philosophy of life.  As a species with higher intelligence we need to explore the plain and simple facts in the lives of other organisms to gain insight into life itself.  In short, we need to make time and allow opportunity to observe.  Only then can we recognize our species makes up a single strand in the web of life.  Our single strand is not a web, and if we continue to allow our activities to contribute to the decline of other species, the fewer strands make for an increasingly weaker, more fragile web!

Observation

     A first step to learning and appreciating Biology requires a commitment to spend time observing those events that normally do not warrant our attention.  Only then do these subtle events rank with others as we seek out meanings, relationships, cause-effects, and priorities.
