One of hundreds, if not thousands of shrimps that live in the tidal pools around St-Malo. I fell in love with these arthropods—watching any pool, they would simply morph into view. Now they were always there, but it [...]

About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
