Copyright and Permissions

All material, images, etc. are copyrighted by Donna L. Long, unless otherwise noted (like when I use photos from government websites and Wikicommons).

I work hard on this blog. I do research, go on field trips, process photos, write many drafts and generally work my fingers to the bone. I should at least get credit for my hard work and not to have someone pretend my hard work is their hard work. So, not cool.
