WARNING
|
|
This is a graphic-
intensive site. There's at least one picture on
every page. I try to keep images small, though. If
you're here to think about nature, but don't wanna
look at the pictures, i can't help you.

WELCOME!
Computing in the

Done with a Macintosh, of course.

NATURALLY
I hesitated to use
the word 'naturalist' in the title, because that's
too strong a word for what i am, or do. I love
nature, observe it, record my thoughts about it,
and the three are intertwined. I guess the
difference is i don't make any money, or get nasty
e-mail from scientists, doing it.
PHOTOS
Unless noted
prominently, all pictures on this site are taken by
me in my meanderings around WNC. I use a Kodak
DC-120 camera and a Macintosh computer. The images
are not altered in any way other than some
brightness and contrasty stuff that would normally
done in the darkroom of a real photographer. The
picture to the left might have some unnatural
enhancement, however.
ERRORS
I strive for
correctness, but because i'm an amateur, i'm going
to make mistakes. I can only learn from those
mistakes if people are kind enough to point out my
errors. Please, please, if you find wrong or
misleading information anywhere at this site
(especially the plant and identification areas),
please
e-mail me. Did i mention
please?

THOUGHTS ABOUT IT
This site is
love-work. I sometimes rely on friends to urge me
in different directions, but i'd be out in mother
Nature's garden anyway. I also do computer graphics
for a living, and so it seems this is just an easy
extension for me. I hope you enjoy browsing, and
take the time to smell the sassafras root.
DISCLAIMER AND
COPYRIGHT
Under no
circumstances is the information contained on this
website to be used to positively identify plants
that are eaten, rubbed on yourself, or fed to your
dog. The same goes for things i do, such as
petting
bumblebees. That's
irresponsible, and your problem. However, as a
springboard to learning more about the plants of
the Western North Carolina mountains, this site is
intended to be a good start.
All photographs,
graphics and pictures are copyright zen sutherland

i'm a nice guy.
