Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Overnight, and I mean that literally, since I took a photo yesterday afternoon, the lower levels of this ivy were mauled. Perhaps the hellions next door? The construction waste, knotweed, and even mulberry that filled the neighbor’s backyard was recently cleared out. Now screamers populate it. Not a net gain.
Sorry about the screamers, but that was a nice photo montage.
Nice set of photos, too bad about the vandalism. Just today a friend and I walked my property line and found that the rich, covetous neighbors have taken down my Posted signs. They want to buy the land over there, but no. Also I have to have 5 acres exactly for zoning, which I have after selling the old sugar road in the woods to good rich neighbors for a right of way–the new owners have a problem with not owning everything in sight.
The signs will go right back up.
The sheriff’s office suggested cameras, but that’s more than I want to do.
