I'm lucky to live near the Mass Central Rail Trail and there are many walking trails off of it. I hadn't been since summer and the first thing I noticed was how the wetland area was dried up. That was alarming! Spotted many Dark-eyed Juncos for the first time since last fall/winter.
This drought continues to be alarming!! I can’t remember an autumn where we didn’t get drenched with rain. I love that you spotted many dark-eyed juncos—they are a treat!
I loved your writing and the natural world you described. You put into words the magic I often feel in nature. am going to take a walk in the Arb later today and do your exercise. Can’t wait.

This is beautiful, Louise. I love the simple curiosity and where it leads. And I'm dying to know: what IS that fiber inside the queen ann's lace?
It’s still a mystery! I just sent the photo to an insect expert I met in class—hopefully we’ll find out soon!

Thanks so much!!! The arboretum is pure magic right now! Be sure to see the golden larches and the beeches! I can’t wait to hear what you discover!
Sounds heavenly. That Queen Anne's Lace reminded me of a sea anemone. Plus, I can almost smell the leaves!
It’s amazing to me how much of the natural world mirrors other parts!
Where is that donut from? It looks divine!
Russel’s in Ipswich!
