Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Solstice

Winter begins today, at 6:38 pm, Universal Brooklyn Time. The earth’s axis will be at its farthest tilt from the sun, pushing us in the north away from the warmth. It only lasts a moment, but we mark it as the beginning of the season.
‘Tis the season to be crowy, (you know the tune) …. Happy holidays, happy winter festive season, and happy seasoning!
