the small and large

Chris Stark, the sixth grade science teacher at Central Tree, invited me to take a few students with me to take pictures of plants on a tract of land that Mass Audubon is looking to purchase in Spencer. It was an old horse farm and it was really very beautiful. We hiked through old grown in pastures and through the woods to see glacial anamolies. It was really something today. I got to invite 5 students to take pictures.

Mr. Stark is then going to give those pictures to the art honors society and they are going to make sellable cards that anyone... even you... can purchase to fund Mass Audubon in their efforts to secure that land. Its a 300 acre property. We hunted around for plantlife that would be fitting for cards. Here is one of the plants that we found, it's called British Soldier. Cute little thing, it was about the size of a quarter. I'll throw a couple more pictures up there just for kicks...

I really had a great time with the students hiking around for a couple of hours.
nice day...
