I am a retired biologist who loves to wander and wonder in the world about me, trying to interest others in the same.
Most of the photos presented here represent an effort to provide a view of the many kinds of common and not so common flora, fauna, and scenic things one might find in the Columbia River Gorge area of Washington and Oregon of the Pacific Northwest.

David A's Photos says:
"All I can say is a big Thank you very much for your help, assistance and patience with helping me identify moths. It is interesting to see the similarities and slight differences of the moths found on the south shore of Lake Merwin vs those in close by Stevenson, WA. Thank you ever so much."

"John (GORGEous nature) has inspired me to get out with my macro and learn how to use it properly to record the nature in my locality. I am interested in botany, geology and fungi - his photographs are fine examples of a keen eye, knowledge and skill with the camera. Its great that he is able to not only identify the subjects, but also provide informaion about them too. Thanks for the inspiration."

"This photographer is the quintessential naturalist who brings to his photography a daunting knowledge of the woods, waters, and air of North America. Since his retirement, his knowledge has increased exponentially. Well worth visiting this site."
