First, just want to say I think yo...Ms. Puliafico,<br /><br />First, just want to say I think your nature photograpy is pretty amazing. Thank you for sharing your work online.<br /><br />I'd also like to ask your permission to use one of your photos of an Eastern Painted Turtle for an Eagle Scout project I'm doing for a local nature preserve (from this page: http://massbutterflies.blogspot.com/2014/09/pied-billed-grebe-at-waseeka-wildlife.html).<br /><br />I'm a Boy Scout with Troop 45 in Clifton Park, New York, and I'm working on an Eagle Scout project at the Dwaas Kill Nature Preserve. <br />Part of that work is building a new information kiosk at the preserve and creating informational signage, maps, trail markers and a new website. The kiosk and website will include information to help visitors learn about the importance of nature preserves for native and migrating animals. Three streams converge in the preserve and there are also bogs and marshes that attract many kinds of insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. These include wood turtles and eastern painted turtles.<br /><br />I'd like to include a small picture on the kiosk and website to show visitors what a eastern painted turtle looks like, and I think one of your pictures would be great for this. If you agree, I'd include a photo credit with your name and would include a web address if you have a website you want to point people to. I'd also make sure to let you know when the project is completed -- most of the physical construction is done already and I'm hoping to finish work in the next few weeks.<br /><br />I'd really appreciate your support for my project, which, like your website, is meant to encourage people to enjoy and preserve nature in their communities.<br /><br />I didn't see an email to send this to, so I'm posting this as a comment. If you have any questions or need more information, my contact info is below.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Chris Bell<br />Troop 45<br />Clifton Park, NY<br />cbellbits [at] gmail [dot] comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966134389874114364noreply@blogger.com
