Fixing the Fence

Bunny squeezed through, ate many beans and peas.

Picnic at Idylbrook

The American chestnut orchard is green and tipped with fingers of flowers. I had been under the impression that last summer, most of these trees would be cut down in order to breed only those that were the most resistant to the blight. And yet they all still stand.

Fractals of Pollen

Today's rain has finally washed the pollen away. I photographed this, yesterday, when watering the strawberries.

In Bloom Now: Spiderwort

A plant about as unpleasantly and inappropriately named as "tickseed".

The Big Slide

This is the central feature at the WW1 Memorial Park in Attleboro. Alas, it is currently closed for repairs!

Julia's Garden

At the WW1 Memorial Park in Attleboro is an amazing garden for children. Among other things, there is a life-sized unicorn statue, a butterfly-themed garden room, and a wishing well. The centerpiece is a two-story slide. Within easy walking distance are a petting zoo, a giant sandbox that looks like a beach, And a conventional but very large playground.
