Close To Home, My Backyard And The Valmont Bog Sanctuary. My Rivendell.
It has been way too long since I walked my favorite patch of woods on this planet, the woods I own behind my house here in the Green Ridge section of Hazle Township in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I first discovered these woods as a child when my friends and I explored them when we were in…
More Macro, Bugs, Bees and Snails.

George and Lillian Picton, Two Fine People Who Left Behind A Wonderful Legacy.
