As a kid growing up near the coast,
no v i s i t to the shore was complete
without items borrowed from kitchen
drawers
— my f i r s t tools f o r s c i e n t i f i c
investigations o f nature outdoors.
With these tools I ’ d explore sand, mud
and water i n search o f small creatures
to watch and admire.
