Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Appreciating Subtle Beauty
I don't often appreciate the beauty of goldenrod seed-heads, but today with the sun low in the sky behind them, I was drawn to this patch. I had to run in to get the camera.
Some of the asters seem to be picked clean, while others still have plenty of fluffy seeds. While taking the pictures and admiring the beauty, this thought came to my mind: Why would anyone be satisfied with just a neatly manicured lawn?
