If you've been following this blog for a while, you probably noted my love of abandoned things and the woods. Well lately I've been able to combine them in a really excellent way - mill ruins! I went walking in some nature trails in Hampstead the other day and found three old mill sites in... Continue Reading →
Let the microscapes begin! Not the most beautiful or delicate of wildflowers, but one of the first to appear. I went wandering in one of the many nature preserves in Andover, Massachusetts the other day and one section of the swamp was covered with skunk cabbage. I read that they can come up so early...

Remember that scene in The Jerk when Martin ran all over yelling "The new phonebook's here! The new phonebook's here" ? Well I felt like doing that about spring today. This is what tells me it's arrived - It's whitlow grass and there's a big patch of it in my backyard. They're the very first... Continue Reading →

It's hip to be square; square cropping and you.
I love daffodils and flowers in general, but come spring every northerner with a lens and a sensor is out photographing them. Most of the shots are the same over and over again. I'm guilty of it just as much, but this time out I decided to try something different. The rain had just barely... Continue Reading →
Part 2 of my study of the lifecycle of the Lilies of the Valley growing by my front door.
