Overhead in West Medford at 6:30 p.m. — the most striking conjunction of Venus and Jupiter that we’ll see until 2039.

Warm day, icy swamp
I hiked nearly six miles in Willowdale State Forest this afternoon — the first time I’ve been there since last May. Even though we had just one day of frigid weather followed by a week of unseasonably warm days, the swamps were still frozen over.
A snowy walk through Medford

The sun sets on 2022
We’ve had quite the sunsets this week. I just got back from a hike in the Middlesex Fells and took this at the South Reservoir.
Happy Thanksgiving!
May your day be spent with family, friends and appreciation for all the good things in our lives.
Bird is the word
At the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield earlier today.
Drumlin Farm
We visited Drumlin Farm in Lincoln for the first time earlier today. The weather was warm and clear — so clear that we could easily see Mount Monadnock from the top of the drumlin from which the farm takes its name.
Summer in November
A walk around the Middle and South Reservoirs in the Middlesex Fells on a summer-like afternoon.
Biking with the AMC
Twenty-three-mile ride along the Charles out to Waltham and back. On the way home, I ran into about two dozen bikers from the Appalachian Mountain Club. I’m a member, so I’m going to have to check out their events. Anyway, I rode with them to Alewife Station before splitting off to head back. Great people, plus they showed me the best connection between the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway and the river.
The rocks of Topsfield
The Rockery, part of the Audubon’s Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. We stomped around earlier today — I hadn’t been there in years, and for some reason Barbara had never been.
