December mushrooms
Dec. 19th, 2015 11:03 am
My dad and I went for a walk in the Arboretum and came across this little bloom of mushrooms sharing space with some garlic mustard. I'm guessing these mushrooms are Hypholoma sublateritium .

Urban Nature Walk in Bussey Brook Meadow
Jul. 1st, 2013 08:07 pm
This past Sunday we had an Urban Nature Walk in the Bussey Brook Meadow Urban Wild. This little chunk of land connects the Forest Hills rapid transit stop to the Arnold Arboretum, making it very easy for any car-free Bostonian to get there. As it happens, two of us came by car, two by bicycle. This photo is from the end of the walk, when we emerged from an Arboretum gate to find an abundance of black raspberries!

Urban Nature Walk in the Arboretum
Mar. 17th, 2013 05:56 pmThis month I want to make up for missing an Urban Nature Walk in February by having an extra one in March. That extra one is today, an easy stroll through the Arnold Arboretum, our local tree museum. The next one is March 31st at Quincy Quarry.
A friend asked me beforehand, what's in bloom at the Arboretum? Well, it's very early in the year still, but the skunk cabbage is blooming!

My dad came up to visit! Details not to miss: "Lick" by my head is J.P. Licks; my hat was made for me by
audacian which is very comfortable, and I joke that it makes me look like a shroom dealer; My dad is wearing a Fred Eaglesmith trucker cap; Alexis has freshly cleaned teeth, including her broken one, which the dentist said was fine as long as it didn't bother her; We have just left Flann O'Briens where Alexis and I had jalapeño cheeseburgers and my dad had Guinness beef stew. It was pretty cold, but the predictions for snow had changed and we still hadn't had any this year. This was probably the last time my dad would visit us in Brookline, since we will move at the end of the year.
Earlier that day, my dad and I saw a red-tailed hawk in the Arboretum.
Pilewort, an herb related to buttercup, once used to treat hemorrhoids. (Also called lesser celandine.) Found lots of it blooming in the wet areas of the Bussey Brook Urban Wilds (which seems to be called "Bussey Brook Meadow" now, and is part of the Arboretum.)

Arboretum unw
May. 14th, 2007 07:25 amI didn't take too many pictures on last week's Urban Nature Walk at the Arnold Arboretum. Maybe that's because I was too busy yakkin'. Here are two.
This giant European Beech demands climbing and (for some people apparently) incising with graffiti.
My dad and Justin talking in the pines. Something about this walk made people spread out--there were only eight of us, but we were all over the place. I actually had to call one section of the group on my cell phone to get us back together. Beautiful place, though!
See Alexis' pictures here.

Castle Island and the Arboretum, Boston
Dec. 4th, 2006 09:13 pmcottonmanifesto and I went to Castle Island, South Boston yesterday. She took all the good pictures, but I got a couple shots here and there.
Here she is photographing a group of brants. (wild geese)
