Walking the dogs in Lynn Woods. This is the only picture I took, as I spent most of our time there complaining about my aching back. Alexis took some, though.
On this day in 365 Urban Species: Baltimore oriole. These seem to be more common than ever, this year.
Lynn Woods
Jan. 1st, 2006 11:40 pmThe city of Lynn Massachusetts boasts, among other things, Lynn Woods, and claims it to be "the second largest municipal park" in the United States. How a municipal park differs from a city park is still unknown to me, but the fact remains that a 2200 acre forest lies in amongst some of the most densely populated parts of a very densely populated state. The Woods contain several large ponds, many impressive granite boulders, and some mysterious ruins. Previously we visited on a rainy summer day, on which we discovered both bright orange mushrooms and the fact that mosquitos still bite when its raining. Our winter hike had both the exquisite quiet of the snowy woods and the monkeylike fun of clambering up big rocks.
