Naturally Curious Blog Celebrates 9th Anniversary
Nine years ago Naturally Curious, the book, was published, and shortly thereafter this blog was conceived. The natural history events and curiosities of nine springs, summers, falls and winters have been documented on this site. While certain subjects which herald the arrival of a season appear annually, the goal is to introduce new discoveries with most posts. It is my fervent hope that readers have enjoyed traveling through the past 108 months with me, celebrating the diversity and beauty of this magnificent world of ours.
Naturally Curious is supported by donations. If you choose to contribute, you may go to http://www.naturallycuriouswithmaryholland.wordpress.com and click on the yellow “donate” button.

The arrival of Naturally Curious to our inbox is a highlight of our working day. David and I often exclaim over it, and then try to figure out where in our Hartland treks we might look for the wonders you expose daily. THANK YOU for the steadiness of your efforts, Mary, and the daily reminders of the beauty of our world.

The only thing that pleases and excites me more to find in my Inbox is occasional photos of my grandkids, but they don’t arrive with anything like the regularity of your blog. You are a marvel, and I deeply appreciate all your offerings – the books, the calendars, and this wonder-filled blog! Thank you so very much, Mary!
