Pool Pond, Dragonfly Nymphs, and the Rights of Story

This story began at Pool Pond, but it also reflects a broader media practice built across writing, photography, audio, books, and visual storytelling. On November 14, 2025, I found the first dragonfly nymph in the sunlight in a few inches of water. I named that first one Pat, and before winter fully settled in, I had collected 61 nymphs from the pond. What began as a rescue effort became a larger story about observation, stewardship, memory, and the responsibility that comes with documenting the natural world.

This is the kind of work that can move across formats. A field note can become a blog post. A blog post can become a narrated segment. A photograph can become exhibit text. A firsthand observation can also become licensed content for editorial, educational, or documentary use when rights are clearly defined and intentionally managed.

My work appears across Hope River Radio, Joy & Crown, Florida Trips, Book Divas Network, Rochester Sun Times, Clean Fiction Magazine, and other outlets where I syndicate columns, comics, art exhibits, podcasts, and related media. That distribution matters because it allows the work to reach audiences in multiple forms while preserving the integrity of the original voice and reporting.

For me, the goal is to build durable media from lived experience: content that can be shared, licensed, repurposed, archived, and revisited across platforms. That is the work behind Wildly Personable™, and it is part of the larger publishing and syndication practice I continue to develop.

Licensing and syndication inquiries are welcome for blogs, podcasts, books, photo essays, exhibits, and other media forms.
