“Two hundred years from now the numbers and kinds of species we observed here in the latter years of the 20th century may seem as unbelievable to future generations as the presence of passenger pigeons, cougars, wolves, and bison in Pennsylvania two hundred years ago seem to us.”

— Marcia Bonta.

Still true in the 21st century. Document what you see!

Marcia Bonta. This is even more keenly true now than when she wrote it a few decades ago. The things I have been used to seeing here will seem incredible to someone 20 years from now.

I feel sometimes when I am taking pictures like I am taking pictures of the past.

Still true in the 21st century. What we take for granted now may well be gone tomorrow. I’ve seen it happen. Document what you see!

I post this every year, but it never stops being relevant.
