que murieron en un ataque
contra toda la humanidad en Madrid,
de Marzo la 11 de 2004
I'm Dave, AKA Pollinator, AKA a kinder,gentler curmudgeon, also known to my wife and many others as "The Old Drone." (Could that mean I'm a has-been who's missed my main purpose in life, or does it make me a suitable target?) I'm a retired commercial beekeeper, who specialized in pollination service for fruit and vegetable growers. I am now occupied with writing and photography, particularly about nature and local interest themes.
South Carolina, USA. (10-31-03) Having started on September 9, 2003, I am showing signs of being a wikiholic already. One of my first pages was Joe-Pye weed which still needs more work.
All my pages are works in progress, but these works in my main area of interest are complete enough so that I feel they convey a lot of information on a topic:

If you want to make me nod and smile, fix my typos, misspellings, bad grammar, or wiki formatting, or, better yet, add relevant additional information. I think it's fun to collaborate, and it certainly helps me learn.
If you want to make me grind my teeth, use a phrase like "fungicides and pesticides," or "Catholics and Christians."
I have thousands of photos of flowers and their visitors, as well as many others on nature-oriented themes. I'm learning how to work with images on Wikipedia, and probably will post a lot more. Some examples of my photography can be seen at User:Pollinator/Images
Besides my interest in natural sciences, I'm also interested in History, Philosophy, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and many other eclectic topics. I would like to poke around...and possibly contribute...to the Spanish Wikipedia, but so far the English version has kept me busy.
Y'all come by the talk page... Pollinator 19:34, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)
