I am an amateur nature photographer living in the Pacific Northwest. I started my blog, Slugyard, because of my love for the outdoors and my desire to learn more about the world around me. My hope is that blogging about nature will encourage families to pay more attention to the world just outside their door. Follow @slugyard on twitter.

Now, for the first time in its history, gardening has taken on a role that transcends the needs of the gardener.

~Douglas Tallamy, Bringing Nature Home
