Earth Day 1995

A plaque commemorating Earth Day in 1995 lies covered in snow.

Reaching Skyward

Mill Pond.

A bench at Mill Pond, in Richmond Hill.

Cold icicles contrast against warm-looking wood.

There’s a hole in my tree trunk, dear Liza, dear Liza…

A damaged and fallen tree seemingly reaches out in all directions.

The trees of the surrounding woods cast shadows across the freshly frozen river that leads to Mill Pond.

I had to trudge through quite a bit of undergrowth to get to the edge of the river, but once there I was struck by how quiet and peaceful it was.

Fresh footprints mark a path across the frozen water of Mill Pond.

I think the message on the sign includes picnicking out on the ice.
