Postprandial walk in the Fenway

[urbpan]

After having lunch together, rockbalancer and I walked around in the Fens.





The phragmites reeds there are huge, and though invasive, quite beautiful.



The reed growth is so tall and dense, that people walking in the fens have created pathways that are like corridors. It's legendary that men meet one another in the reeds for anonymous trysts.



This little clearing (completely invisible from the actual park paths) with its token attempt at domestic comfort, reminded me of the clearing in Olmsted park at the end of this post.

I hereby award you a gold star for vocabulary for use of the word "postprandial."

Superlative!

I love the strawberry hat!

Rooster Rock, the park/clothing-optional river beach near Portland, has the same tall reeds, paths, and cruising gay guys. A heretofore unstudied symbiosis of species?

I'll get right on it!--er, the research, that is.

Thanks....I love it too!

I think the second syllable should be emphasized in some way.

i told scott about it (the 'fantastic') and he had no recollection of him ever saying it. i told bec and she was like 'yeah!' and tried to do the accent, funny.

seems like the first syllable is the one with the emphasis?

Eventless.

Ah, the beautiful phragmites. The impressive, majestic alien.
