More Mid-May 2003

This was a week of abundant sightings for me. The park was alive. Birds, snakes, fish, butterflies and turtles, bees, boxelder bugs, clouds of tiny flies, cyclists and strollers all humming together in spirit. 

And all this in a very small section (1/4 mile length) of the park - directly west of the Demott Lane entrance.

I get a sense of harmony here - there's little obvious effort to control the area. 

It's simply a thin strip of land comprised of the path and the adjacent narrow fields and woodland between the canal and the river - in  central New Jersey.
