Lover of all innocent creatures. Especially our pollinator friends. Hope to spread as much kindness as I possibly can. Cause heck, who doesn't like kindness?

We're all here. For a short time. Together.

Any space in there for me Ernie? It's getting pretty horrible out there and I'm scared.

Being apart of a controlled burn to rid several invasive species at Izaak Walton in Homewood, Illinois was just SO super amazing. Because of their deep root system, all of the #nativeplants will grow stronger next spring. #bucketlist

I LOVE my wife, my kittens, and bees more than anything. Period. But the people that I've been advocating for over 40 years (learning, teaching, employing) are those with special needs. The Trump administration has now invaded my world... deeply. Please read this. ☮️ www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

Here in Homewood, IL the goldenrods are just starting to bloom. Just in time for my little bumblebee friend, who is looking pretty darn crazy hungry. The later blooming native flowers (i.e. goldenrods, asters,) are vital for any pollinator garden. Please #plantwithintent for these phenomenal beings.

Went out to our #nativegarden early this morning, and was looking closely at the wonders of nature. To my surprise, a little bitty slug was slowing devouring a couple of black aphids on our early sunflower plant. It's kind of gross but truly amazing at the same time. ☮️

On the Good News-Bad News front in our #nativegarden, our amazing early sunflowers are littered with an assortment of those darn aphids. Fortunately our ladybug friend (natures vacuum cleaner), has found herself a meal or two. This little garden is SO full of life and surprises!! ☮️

I'm kind of thinking our bunny friend isn't too interested in us having August purple blooms on our New England asters this year. BUT you gotta love bunnies! #nativeplants #bunnies

Sadly, #Bumblebees are becoming as rare of a sighting as a white rhino walking down Dixie Hwy here in Homewood, IL. So I was thrilled to see this little gal on a salvia this morning. We've got lots of #nativeplants that will bloom soon, so hopefully we'll get more #bee friends in the coming days! ☮️

Last year we planted a mostly #nativeplants garden in the South suburbs of Chicago. Everything is coming up strong. And like a proud papa, I want to introduce our first Spiderwort flower (Tradescantia ohiensis)!! What a thrill! Bring on the #bees!! 🌺 🐝 ☮️

A very large fuzzy bumble with a single black spot on its back and a slightly brown belt gets deep inside a Pulmonaria bloom in a cluster of hot pink and purple after nearly shoving me out of the way when I was trying to take pictures of other flowers in the way of her meal.

A few days ago we had some thick frost and the nuthatches were excited! This red-breasted nuthatch was just about to check on the spruce seeds in this cone! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Calling all gardeners who want to "plant with intent" to help our struggling pollinators. Try planting my two favorites, Yellow Giant Hyssop (Agastache nepetoides) or Anise hyssop, Agastache foeniculum. The #bumblebees will come knocking in your garden! I promise! #nativeplants

“If half of American lawns were replaced with native plants, we would create the equivalent of a 20-million-acre national park, nine times bigger than Yellowstone.” — Doug Tallamy Consider killing your lawn & #rewilding it with native plants to support local wildlife! Our backyard buddies:
