I am a retired physician with a lifelong love for the outdoors and trees in particular. As I approached retirement I recognized that I wanted to experience nature in a new way, one more intimate and reflective, rather than the "task completed" manner that I had demonstrated in the past. My initial thought was to start a blog on trees native to North America but my daughters encouraged me to comment on our more generalized outdoors experiences featuring the trees as part of a broader ecosystems. The title Footpaths come from our experiences on and enjoyment of the ancient footpaths of the United Kingdom and is a link to my English heritage.
