About Walt Franklin

Welcome to Rivertop Rambles. This is my blog about the headwaters country– far afield or close to home. I’ve been a fly-fisher, birder and naturalist for most of my adult life. I’ve also written poetry and natural history books for thirty years. In Rambles, I will mostly reflect on the backcountry of my Allegheny foothills in the northern tier of Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York State. Sometimes, I’ll write about the wilderness in distant states, or of the wild places in the human soul. Other times I’ll just reflect on the domestic life outdoors. In any case, I hope you enjoy. Let’s ramble!

    Thank you! (WF)

    Walt,

    This is a wonderful blog and similar to one I run. Slowly and surely, as fishing and nature begin to dominate my life (in a good way) at 39 my blog has turned to posts of life outdoors and not of zombies.

    Beautifully written and photographed, Sir!!
