Today is the day yall! The first day of #BlackBirdersWeek!!! I'll be posting my photos today for #BlackInNature starting now

I hope everyone plans to get outside, if the weather is nice! Times are turbulent, but being in nature always brings me peace.
It's not just the adults who enjoy being #BlackInNature! My Godson CJ also loves to explore the outdoors with his toys! 


This was probably one of my favorite experiences being #BlackInNature I had never been snorkeling before and I got to briefly hold a pufferfish before releasing it. Costa Rica was amazing!

Being out in nature runs in the family! My daughters Azalea and Crimson love spending time outside looking at plants and collecting rocks!

The first time I ever did any field research back in 2012 in Costa Rica. I went on a short tropical biology REU sponsored by @NSF and Dr. Ann Russell at @IowaStateU. I had been encouraged by Dr. Milton Muldrow at @pgccnews. I met one of my best friends, Tyler (on the rock).

Also bumbled around and found Great Falls in Virginia! Didn’t even realize there was a waterfall in the DMV! #BlackInNature #BlackBirdersWeek
Sometimes being #BlackInNature is just sitting in the yard with your grandfather and just watching the birds
