Happy December! 
I wish you a wonderful holiday full of fun gatherings and nature outings!

 
Welcome to my website and thanks for taking a look at what I do!

Here I have compiled my nature observations over several years on this December page. 
I think I want to do this again!

Salmon Matters: How a Fish Feeds a Forest is a story of sea to forest connections in the Pacific Northwest. 
Perhaps you remember, Milkweed Matters which Lisa wrote and I illustrated.  This book presents another amazing story ~ this time on the coho salmon ~ its birth, life, travels, perils, and the renewal of forest nutrients thanks to its incredible life story.
