Bedford Reservation: Sagamore Creek bioObservation Survey
We had a wonderful time on the Wednesday evening of 16 April 2014 identifying and photographing various plants along the Linda Falls trail. Our path led us through a woodland, along the edge of a ravine, and into a floodplain populated by wildflowers in differing stages of emergence. Along the way we passed a white oak tree and were told that shed skins of black rat snakes have been observed in the branches. None were observed on our evening walk.
Nature is a wonderful teacher.
Two new virtual herbarium sheets have been posted:
chestnut oak and harbinger-of-spring
Wishing you a mighty fine spring day,

One of the most deeply meaningful experiences of being out in nature is the feeling of being connected -- in and through time. You are not only witnessing the present, but the past and future as well. Those who participated in the Thompson Ledges walk observed the many hundreds of sprouting, broken, and trodded upon acorns similar to those Robert Douglas observed and wrote about in 1889.
The "what" experienced in nature can be anything. The importance is the experience itself.
