Many of you know me through my photography. Some know me from my years as a veterinarian. Some simply know me as the woman who wanders around Jordan Lake talking about birds, clouds, droughts, wildflowers, and whatever else catches her curiosity.

Over the past few weeks I’ve quietly begun a new project called Open the Door.

Every Sunday I share a short audio story — sometimes about nature, sometimes about growing up, sometimes about the people and experiences that have shaped my life. The stories are free to listen to and are accompanied by a written transcript.

This week’s story is “Deserts Have Droughts Too.”

If you’d like to join me, you can visit:

I’d be delighted to have you come along. After all, Nature’s door is open — come right on in.
