Walking through nature with John Palka, a neuroscientist who loves plants and ponders big questions
To me, the world of dragonflies (dragons) and damselflies (damsels) is captivating. I find them to be not only beautiful but also remarkable in many ways. Four years ago, in July of 2020, I offered a posting called “The Dragons and Damsels of Elm Creek,” the 5,000-acre nature preserve that is the home of the Eastman Nature Center which I visit several times each week. Today, I want to build on this earlier story.
With this post, I hope finally to resume more frequent and more regular posts on Nature’s Depths!
A couple of years ago, prompted by the Easter Sunday that had just passed, I offered you a Rumination on the seasonal cycle of life on our Earth. This year, Easter Sunday has once again brought experiences and reflections that I would like to share with you.
In this post, I would like both to offer some important personal news and to introduce an enriched perspective on living beings.
One recent morning, the photographs I was prompted to take led me to a rumination that I would like to share with you briefly.
Those of you who have been with Nature’s Depths for some time will remember that two years ago my life changed forever.
