May is the return of beauty

[urbpan]

This past Sunday we took the dogs around Olmsted Park.


My favorite view of Leverett Pond returns.


Another nice view of it, from the Boston side (where someone has tossed a trash can into the water) toward the Brookline side.


A nice cluster of oyster mushrooms. (Pleurotus sp.)


Later on, I rode my bike up river to the Fenway, and balanced some rocks--those pictures come later. ;)

So, I have this friend that moved to Boston a couple years ago now and she is still trying to figure out where to meet interesting people. I told her to get an LJ and I would hook her up with you, but she hasn't so far. Any suggestions I can pass on to her?
Thansk, and thanks for the great pictures!

the first sunday of every month, we do an urban nature walk. there's a yahoo group devoted to this, she should join!

Thanks! I will let her know.

She could sign up for my Urban Nature Walk list (it's a little less involved than setting up an lj acct): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urbannaturewalk/

Boston can be a hard place to meet people; we can be quite standoffish. What kind of "interesting people" does she want to meet?

Weel, she thinks she is pretty mainstream, then she goes out and tries to meet people and finds out that she isn't as mainstream as she thought...

She's originally from Colorado but went to the same Minnesota college as my husband (so she should be used to stand-offish people.) She used to be an associate professor of sociology here but she left the acedemic world and now you have her in Boston. That doens't really answer your question.

It was really nice here, now all of a sudden it's cold and overcast...:(
