A look around town

One unexpected benefit of the sprained ankle I experienced several weeks ago was to slow me down to a limping stroll, allowing for a leisurely loop around town. Starting and ending at The River Reporter building on Erie Avenue in Narrowsburg, NY, I was reminded that within our own neighborhoods, all sorts of interesting sights await.

In 15 minutes, I encountered purple loosestrife, an Eastern painted turtle, a Northern water snake and Canada geese.

See what I saw in these photos. Take a walk today.

“I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.”
