The Urban Pantheist

We attended the first official Rockbalancing Excursion today.( several more pictures, including a panorama )
On this day in 365 Urban Species: copperleaf, a weed so common and boring, no one commented about it.

Passengers.

Disgusting substance of the day: TB test. AAAUGH! Bubble under my skin!

On this day in 365 urban species: Blue dasher, a member of rockbalancer's (pictured above) favorite group of insects!

I 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!
