My Writing

David Lukas writing Yosemite

Capturing the moment

I love language, and I love the words we use to describe the natural world. 


As you can see, I am never far from my pocket notebook and pen on my hikes! I am always writing down observations, ideas, and endless questions to research when I get home. 


These notes have then been turned into books and articles--and now this blog--that share what I've learned and experienced. 


Here are a few of my books.
