| Introduction | I was born in 1938 and I still wonder: "what will I be when I grow up?" I don't know the specifics but I'm sure that I'll continue to be a voice for the trees -- a work that began over 20 years ago in Oregon. Nowadays, I continue serving the Queen of the Forest from my place in Brazil's western-most Amazon State of Acre. Brazilians have a saying for when someone or place is very special -- they say, "it is a picture." So here I am making pictures, telling stories and, like a child putting messages into bottles and floating them out to sea, posting to this blog. |
