10.28.2022 Fungal Friday- a study of a species

Posted on October 28, 2022 by Steve Gingold

Sticking with the the “F” themed Friday posts. Not sure what the next will be. Well, the windows are all installed and half needed new moldings for which I now have to fill the nail holes and finish. Most will … Continue reading →

10.04.2022 More getting started

Posted on October 4, 2022 by Steve Gingold

I visited Harvard Pond yesterday hoping for foliage. There was a bit but just wasn’t appealing. The pond was created by a dam and below the dam is an outflow pond which offered some better color and a nicer composition. … Continue reading →
