Jane and Tom, thank you! Through your eyes and your travels I have learned so much about the Natural World. I have fallen in love with Mother Earth as you pointed in the direction and I then found my path.

I share your anxiety about wildlife. The bear I had here in Maine, for 20yrs was killed along with here 2 cubs. She never touched anything here, coolers hummingbird feeders, and taught her cubs the same. All lost for 🤑 money. You share your photos hoping people will see the beauty. Thank You 😊
