“It is amazing what we can see and find when we know what to look for. Observation is a powerful tool that can turn a simple hike in the woods into an exotic journey. I am frequently asked, what is left to explore. The answer is everything. For example, there are an estimated 100 million living species of organisms on Earth, yet we have identified only about 1% of them. As an explorer, scientist, and educator I look at life as an adventure in progress…. Beginning with the ordinary, each of us has the ability to find and uncover the extraordinary. It’s what ignites curiosity and keeps us exploring ordinary life for the extraordinary magic hovering within.”
