This is my second profile in iNat, my alter ego. I originally started as Nonfiction Steve https://www.inaturalist.org/people/634354 focused almost exclusively on my Waller Research Area https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/waller-research-area

I wanted Nonfiction Steve to be related specifically to that project so I eventually started Solar_Steve for all my other observations.

I'm learning to take quality photos for iNat because I often use other people's observations to help me ID my observations. I know how valuable clear detailed images can be.

I've been doing outdoor education for many years and find iNat to be an amazing and valuable resource. I'm old but I'm still learning - and loving it.

Yes, I made a financial contribution to iNat in 2021. It is a great site.
