A Massive Undertaking

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Being in Nature

Friday, March 5, 2010

It makes me a little sad that most of my glimpses of nature are marred by things like bridges. I haven’t gotten out(side) much for the past couple of months and I’m really craving it. This winter actually wasn’t that bad for New England compared to the snow that the Mid Atlantic states got, but […]
