Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my blog. My name is Emily, and I am currently a graduate student studying natural resource management. I just graduated from a small environmental college in NY with a bachelor's in wildlife science.

I am a scientist. A biologist, an ecologist, and a naturalist. I've dedicated myself to exploring the natural world around us. The best way I have of preserving what I've found there is through photography. Though in no way a professional, I've decided to share some of the wonderful things I have seen.

The great thing about summer jobs in biology is that you find yourself in places that most people never get to visit. I consider myself very lucky to have worked in the locations my last three summer jobs have taken me. My most recent job is what first inspired me to create this blog. While searching for photos of my study area online, I found very few pertaining to the exact area I had been. I decided that, since I seem to be one of a relatively small number of people to have been there, I should do my part by sharing my experience.

I have been to such beautiful areas; it is my hope that, through this blog, I’ll be able to share some of that beauty with others. Here I will post a sort of behind-the-scenes look at the sort of field work a biologist does, through photos of the plants, animals, and landscapes of the places I’ve been. I will also post other bits of nature photography that I’ve taken here and there. I really hope you enjoy, and thanks for visiting!
