Episode Synopsis "Observation 5"

Today I was inspired by the observations of Huckleberry Finn in Mark Twain's beloved classic. In this spirit, Obsevation 5 approaches the world from the lowly point of view of a beach towel splayed in the grass. This grounded, stantionary perspective provided a new lens with which to regard the natural world. Journey with me as this week we dig into plant family Amaryllidacaeae and explore the interconnectedness of onions and tulips and snow drops (oh my!). As always, below are the links to my species identification research; this week we look at Galanthus nivalis, or the common snow drop.

I am trying to figure out how to share these with the audience or even if the audience would be interested in seeing them. I am including the email for the Ollie's World podcast below and ask that if you feel so inclined tell me a) are images something you would be interested in? and/or b) do you have any ideas on how we can sucessfully achieve this? Let me know what you think! [email protected]
