I am computer science educated, but an amateur-naturalist-in-training, currently falling in love with all things calico aster and cinnamon willow-herb.
A tutorial on how to take useful observational photos for American Asters is something I'd like to see. If anyone knows of the existence of something like this, please send me a message about it.
I am self-studying the Symphyotrichum genus with particular interest in knowing differences and similarities of the white small-flowered American asters in east central Indiana (for starters). If you care to view my observations of Symphyotrichum spp., they are at the following link. I welcome input and IDs.

I really love rodents and other mooching mammals, or they love me. :) Could raccoons be any cuter?

If you want to hear what spatting raccoons sound like, go to this observation.
I enjoy identifying animals by sound. It seems I keep coming up with sound files to analyze, edit, and upload. I welcome input and IDs for them.

Always looking for help with insects and spiders.

I'm interested in native flora and try to garden with that in mind, although removing the introduced and invasive species from my mere 1/3 acre that were here when I moved in a decade ago is slow going, particularly since Glechoma hederacea (Ground-ivy), Potentilla indica (Mock strawberry), Lysimachia clethroides (Gooseneck loosestrife), Spirea sp., and others are relentless.
