Rainy winter pictures

[urbpan]

Here's a set of pictures from the past couple of days. It's been around 40 degrees and lightly raining.



Building under construction in the Longwood Medical Area, across from my house.





Winterberry, Ilex verticillata, Arnold Arboretum.

Today we went to Prospect Hill Park in Waltham:







Wood ear, Auricularia sp.
EDITED to add: Or quite probably, Exidia recisa.



Pine saplings planted as a reforestation effort. I'm not sure what the structure at the right is. There were two large round windowless cement buildings near the top of the hill--water storage?



Another tower, looming ominously at the top of the hill.

How about the Oak Openings Preserve?

I've never been able to get over there. Man, you all did research and stuff, that's awesome.

It looks beautiful. You should head over there and take some pictures. :)
