Very nice shot, John. There are worse looking weed than poison ivy, I know ’cause I have some in my back yard.
Thanks Ken. Summer’s here, for better or worse
Poise on ivy and contemplate the view.
My advice: poise nearby!
I don’t think I realized Bartholomew’s Cobble was a place – or if I did I forgot that. I cut a poem out of a magazine many years ago with that title. A solid, aesthetically pleasing, thoughtful poem, like your photographs. This one celebrates those dangerous vines, seeking more things to wrap around, so gracefully. I really like it.
Only part of the poem comes up when I google it – in the Paris Review – unless you subscribe, you can’t see the rest. But as I remember, what you can see is almost all of it. 🙂
Thought of you at this place because of the extraordinary biodiversity: over 700 plant species and more species of ferns than anywhere else in North America. Quite impressive, considering it’s only 300-some-odd acres. Maybe on your next trip to Boston you can squeeze in a visit.
Thanks for the info on the Daniel Hall poem. It’s a good one.
That’s so cool about the ferns, thanks for telling me. It’s a beautiful region and I sure wouldn’t mind roaming there again someday.
