Welcome, my name is David J. Hand and I live in western Schuylkill county in Pennsylvania.  I spend as much time as I can in the outdoors taking pictures.  Nature is such a wonder to me.  These are my pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them.  Please use pictures with permission only. 
Many people have graciously given of their time in helping me identify many of the plants, insects, birds, amphibians ect. on this site. I would at this time like to acknowledge the following.
Paul Martin Brown,Orchids. Thank you for your help and patience through the years and thank you for being my friend.

And thank you to so many others who have helped me along the way.
I would especially like to thank, Doran Horning, who without him this site would not be possible.
