- The herons look cold, says a runner on the trail.
- Where do you see one?
- Up ahead on the rock.
It is in the middle of the creek on a rock, another one was downstream near one of the picnic areas and was also on a rock in the middle of the creek, stock [...]

A Face is a Landscape
November 12, 2009A Great Pumpkin
October 31, 2009
Edgar Allen Poe and Raven
were taken with this pumpkin
(see the Oct. 19 post),
a round straw bale
fancifully transformed
into a pumpkin
to let people know
about Duncan’s Corn Maze along the Robesonia-Bernville Road.
Ingenious, honest solution to the problem. Happy Hallowe’en!
Silhouette
October 30, 2009 Fasten your seatbelts: Art group Thursday night. The leader of our meeting, having abstained from work on the theme, Silhouette, instead provides a seasonal picture – a pastel drawing of a rainspotted maple leaf drafted in gentle fall colors. We all ooh and ahh.
Next: a photo of the oddest and most intriguing kapok-like clouds and silhouetted trees. Somehow [...]
Real Simple
October 18, 2009
Honey locust leaves all over the trail. It’s real simple.
A heron at the half-mile rapids. Rain again, prompting use of umbrella, a rare but necessary accessory for the fact. Just the facts, Ma’am. Ready for the sun to come out.
This is my to-to list for the day because I really got to be [...]
All Things Considered Reconsidered
October 14, 2009
Today is complete before it even locates the opening. Incomplete when ending. Down arrows abounding and bringing us to earth. Gravity. Up arrows shooting sky high. Ecstasy.
Trapped in the middle – agony! Free. Seeking center, driven with centripetal force. Sometimes going with centrifugal movement. Every which way but loose.
Consider now the lily that neither [...]
So Often Tender, Fun to Do
October 13, 2009
Women are the strangest creatures the way they fly around. Myself included and I am unlike other women. Soft, yet hard to understand, something fit to be placed on Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Chalk to diamonds. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. We all fall down.
Monday set out some frames and fabric [...]
Juglans nigra
October 12, 2009
This green parking garage stub Poplar & Walnut – 12 makes the pick of the litter, to pick up where we left off. The black walnut grows here; Juglans nigra, with its round green nut casings aplenty, secreting pungent messages. The tulip poplar is one of the more dominant trees in these forests. Tall and proud [...]
Ron, Walk
October 11, 2009
A rise in nuts. Tears from fears. Can the squirrels keep up? Can I get back on the horse? Woe is not me! Whoa, maybe.
Ron reports he thinks there are more black walnuts on the ground this year than ever before. He says take care walking or running on the trail, not to turn an ankle. A non-walnut [...]
The Biggest Loser
October 1, 2009 Dateline October 1: September 30 was a banner day. Received in mail rejection letter regarding application for Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts grant.
As if that weren’t enough, message left on telephone at 5:02 P.M. saying that although they had sent e-mail notification that Seraglio & Lions (a friend and myself) were finalists for the SEPTA [...]
Tiger Dew
September 28, 2009 Snail. Moving like snail today. Did Tiger Woods win again? Lost the battle, won the FedEx 10K. Dew on driver’s side window has a striped pattern. Tigerish stripes. Write that down.
A heron wades, stalking fish near the footbridge of picnic peninsula. Second heron in repose on a log just upstream of Wertz’s red bridge. [...]
