New Oak Path

Yesterday I set out to clock the mileage for the loop walk using only pavement, no gravel. But this is what I encountered.

Today, new pavement!!!

Mileage 1.25, I think.

Trip to Phillie

Just some photos taken from the bus window as we were on our way to the Philadelphia Orchestra. This first one - How many times do you see a stretch limo stop at a pawn shop?

Music at Woodmere

On Sunday afternoon at 3, we attended a concert of instrumental Latin American music with Emilliano Pardo-Tristan and the Cachasa Ensemble. It was delightful!

Woodmere Gallery looks like a good place to take children also.

A Nip in the Air

A nip in the air and a great day for a walk here at Foulkeways.

October Snow

On October 29th we had a surprise early snowstorm, of several inches.

Some trees still had green leaves.

Morning after

Crum Woods

We visited Crum Creek and Swarthmore College with the Natural Lands Trust on Oct. 24th. Natural Lands Trust has done some consulting here.

Sewer reconstuction is degading the creek. We also learned about the deer problem, and how they have constucted test plots to see the effects of the deer control measures.

Japanese knotweed. We learned about invasive species. Glad that we do not have this one, but we do have English ivy climbing up trees.

Amphitheater steps

Our leader at the amphitheater

Our last stop was the Wister Education Center and Green house. We were blown away by the greenhouse.
