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.”

Come Walk With Me

whosewoodsI started this blog in 2010: here’s my very first post from March 3rd.

Five years! In the internet’s split-second, ahistorical frenzy, that must be like half-a-hundred in dog-years. To celebrate, I will be taking a walk in Prospect Park and Green-Wood on Sunday, March 1st. You, my faithful readers, are invited to come along with me.

Traditionally, the 5th wedding anniversary was celebrated with wood. That makes a walk in the woods a natural!

Where: Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park, in front of the Stranahan statue.
When: 11 a.m.
What: Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, don’t sweat it. There may be some to share.
Wha: RSVP if you like in the comments.

The forecast could be better. Snow is predicted by early evening. We’ll be done before then.

    I read with pleasure your blog every day. There is always something that I find either interesting or provocative in your commentary. Continue to do this valuable service. I wish that I could take the walk on the 5th of March, but I do not live in New York City.
