yesterday: a bed of ferns

[OT from cottage renovations]

I had the opportunity to contribute some images to a multimedia presentation given during last night's Town Meeting.  the subject of the presentation was the state of the West Woods: where they are and where they will be absent some strong intervention.  as the East Woods have already gone so too could the West Woods, but it doesn't have to be that way. 

holding back on the image of trees downed and threatened by erosion of their root systems, of the volume and content of refuse along the northern perimeter and of the trash-clogged storm drain feeding (that's the term, though excreting would seem a better fit) the stream bed, let's direct our gaze instead to the more uplifting aspects of what it still is.

West Woods

thanks to Ann & Elly, Jim and Charlie for their efforts to rouse our collective rabble.  no doubt the topic will receive further attention in this space over the course of the next year.
