I checked out the dam today. Working great. I'd like to thank the people who did it, but don't know who. There are some nice things out there right now: Purple bladderwort in the pond. Turks Cap on the other side of the road from the dam. Xyris smalliana in the pond. A lot of it. I don't see...

I took off my knee high boots during lunch Saturday in the woods south of Chatsworth. I left them off to explore a patch of knee high vegetation. I am really paying for that now. I have over 40 bites around my waist and crotch. Awful. When chiggered like this, it is hard to concentrate on much...

Interesting article, but really, it went in several different directions. http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/item/70134-neighbors-at-odds-over-buy-outs-in-bayshore-villages-in-cumberland-county-nj?linktype=hp_topstory

Tonight, crossing a road in my area. Velvet black near the tail. Dark, dark.

And doing lovely. These are two different ones. The other photo is Trientalis borealis.

I was in the Parker Preserve the other day, and came upon two fence lizards. The one in top of the photo had his jaw around the leg of the other one, and he was holding on for dear life. They panicked when they saw me and crawled 10 feet up a tree, and the one with the grip held on during the...

I am just so happy to learn that these pollen allergies I picked up in the last few years are now starting to really get me down. Awful! :( My nose is constantly clogged and dripping and I'm sneezing real bad. I took Loratidine yesterday and do have a nasal irrigator, but it only gives...

This fire started near the intersection of 530 and Dover Road. It was a hot fire. Pretty much all-consuming. The following shows a firebreak that was created either during the fire, or shortly before the fire. Note that the land on either side is completely wasted. Whoever made the cut...

The cleanup is scheduled for this Sunday, April 27th. The meeting location is Wells Mills County Park at 8:30 am. Chris Hewey and I need a couple more people on our team for the bogs behind Bamber. Things have really gotten bad this year in regards to dumping. It is probably related to...

I have one, and want to keep a landline phone in addition to my cell phone for now. But, I have AT&T and the fees and charges are high. I'd like to hear from others. What are good options for economical landlines. If you know the secret to keeping AT&T but keeping it cheap, I'd like to hear...
