FIELD NOTES: Uncommon scenery....

...I was not looking for on my walk, but this has been hanging on a tree at the back parking area for weeks and, for humor's sake, I finally documented it. I remember going for a walk near our favorite 'swimming hole' with my grandmother. She spied a nice pair of pants lying in the woods and used her walking stick to lift them out of the brush. Her enthusiasm curdled when a swarm of flies was released from what was covered up there. I am sure any of us who walk have encountered strange articles and I always wonder...where do their owners think this stuff is going? My PBS station 'happened' to show Dances With Wolves last night...and I 'happened' to think of the saying below...which 'happens' to be from a Native American chief named Seattle...where my daughter 'happens' to live...connecting lines...

"Leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but memories."
- Seattle, Chief

  1. So many people forget to leave things in nature the way they are. They don't seem to understand that leaving their trash behind gives all others a less enjoyable experience. I'm sure they understand when somebody else does it to them.

  2. I get equally angry at the business and property owners that just leave the garbage dumped there.
    There is no reason they can't clean it up.
