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.”

Prospect Park Summer

One of the parent swans had just nearly kicked the ass of yet another unleashed dog.I think they were hanging outside their lamp-post nest because it was even more blazingly hot inside. But, I didn’t stick around long enough to ask, or even to focus all that well.

  1. Nice set of photos! Good move staying away from the wasps.

  2. Amazing stuff! I’ve never seen swans before, or that many mushrooms!! Well done.
