Found something tucked away in a nature preserve in beverly Massachusetts. This is the remains of the high over estate which was erected in the early 1900s but as of October 1968 it burned down. This is all that remains along with the front gate (not pictured) this is the Maine fountain for the gardens as well as the gazebo type building for relaxing next to it.

I've started messing around with watercolors. Nothing crazy yet, just Crayola. But it's fun, and easy. This one's not finished yet, but I like how its turning out.

The boundary separating the Brazilian city of Manaus from the Adolfo Ducke Forest Reserve illustrates the delicate equilibrium between progress and conservation.

Sometime Past Six

I reworked this original painting digitally to turn up the graininess a few notches, which gives it an Impressionistic look. The glaring sun suggests a warm summer day coming to an end. Acrylic on canvas plus Blender, 9 x 12 in. Interested in purchasing art? To learn more about the kinds of originals and prints I offer, please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing…

In front of my building is a row of really lovely old trees. The past couple of days, I was very delighted to see those trees changing into fall colours. These trees really cheer me up every day. Today, there are a bunch of workers from the city cutting the trees down. The city apparently wants to remodel the space in front of the building, and they plan planting some new trees at the end of next year. I am actually in tears because it makes me so angry. Those new trees will be tiny baby trees, it will take ages until they are as tall as the beautiful trees that are currently standing there. It will also of course take ages until those new trees will be able to absorb the same amount of CO2, will be able to spend the same shade and will be able to be home to as many animals als it is currently the case. It makes me absolutely sick and I hate it.

Part 2: After the Rain - Life in an Appalachian Temperate Forest.

From top: Wild ginger (Asarum canadense), also known as Canadian snakeroot; Philadelphia fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), a lovely spring aster deserving of a more dignified name; white wood violet (Viola sororia albiflora), a white variation of the common blue violet; woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata), also called wild blue phlox; creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera), a mountain native and the most delicate and beautiful of Appalachia’s many wonderful phlox species; and Allegheny blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis).

I recently heard about a 400-year-old tree in a nearby village, which made me want to estimate the age of the big lime tree behind my house. I measured the circumference at my height then divided by Pi to get the diametre then multiplied by the growth factor for this species—and I learnt that my lime tree is about 255-260 years-old! It was born in the 1760s... I also went and measured some of my beech trees and the oldest ones are ~190 years-old, which makes sense as it’s the age of the house. I’m not sure why this lime tree is so much older than all the other trees on this land, but it makes me want to give it a little plaque, maybe one that says “I was 25 years-old during the French revolution.”

#crawling along #i know my land used to be a forest until the 1820s when most of the trees were cut to create pastures #beech trees were then planted around each pasture to delineate it #then in the 1960s or 70s the farm was downsized and all the pastures except two were abandoned and left to rewild as they pleased #so the trees around my house are 50-60yo at most save for the beech trees enclosing the younger woods like sentinels #i'm guessing the 1820s owners preserved a couple of the pre-existing trees in each pasture to provide shade for the animals? #and the other(s) have been cut since #whatever the reason i'm glad this one lime tree was left alone to live its life!
