Walking local on cold and rainy days — Wild Columbia County
While the overnight gale continued to rant, rave, and spatter our windows we spent the morning continuing the decluttering prompted by our domestic refurbishment. I made considerable headway in dispensing with decades of paperwork. Late this afternoon, when the wind and the rain desisted, we rewarded ourselves with a forest drive. At the corner of […]
Last Hours Of The Day — derrickjknight

Readers’ wildlife photos — Why Evolution Is True

(The photos are on Flickr, and if you click on them you can enlarge them there) Ollie sniffing around under a tree. Its leaves have finally changed. Most of the […]
