sort-of-retired prof, grandma, birdwatcher, happy living half the time in Massachusetts and half the time in Moscow from 1996 to 2014, with interesting trips to other places. From 2014 living permanently in Amherst, MA. Joined Flickr in 2006 during a four-month stay in New Zealand. In NZ I also became a tree-watcher, because the trees are so remarkable.
