The Daily Forest Report April 9, 2014 A Welcome Change in Perspective
by nielskunze on April 9, 2014
Our normal forest walk has us exploring on the south side of Dutch Creek which has us gazing across the river at the Hoodoos on the other side. For two days we had been hearing the honking of geese in (…)
The Daily Forest Report April 6, 2014 Good Dog Happy Man
by nielskunze on April 6, 2014
(Good Dog Happy Man by Bill Frisell from his album of the same name) This is our everyday out in the forest. Sitka likes to toss around the scrumptious toys she finds in the woods. This one is a deer’s (…)
The Daily Forest Report April 4, 2014 In a Foraging Swoon
by nielskunze on April 4, 2014
In the past few days I’ve been cranking out some pretty heady stuff. This promises to be a little lighter in nature. We can classify this as a Foraging Update. Throughout the winter I was able every day to forage (…)
The Daily Forest Report April 3, 2014 Your Treasures Are All Here Now
by nielskunze on April 3, 2014
I spend a lot of my time just watching Sitka. Out in the woods, she’s a very happy clown! So far we’ve seen a few butterflies– like six or seven– and she loves to chase them. If this year is (…)
The Daily Forest Report April 2, 2014 You Needn’t Wait to Be Trodden Upon
by nielskunze on April 2, 2014
I was a little surprised to find this little puffball intact after the thaw. I certainly have fond memories of eating many of its brethren the previous autumn– before their interiors turned into a mass of powdery spores. I can’t (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 31, 2014 Leftovers and Antici…pation
by nielskunze on March 31, 2014
I know; it makes you think of Frankenfurter, right? And Tim Curry in his fishnet stockings is… well, disturbing. Well, honestly, we’ve been “turbed” quite enough, thank you very much; it’s time now for a little disturbance… without having to (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 28, 2014 The Cracked and Battered Remains… Is All that Remains
by nielskunze on March 28, 2014
Man, if I could just teach Sitka to write these posts instead of just inspiring them… This one practically writes itself; I just hope that the symbolism isn’t too bloody obvious. This is what the forensic archeologist dragged from the (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 26, 2014 Like Marbles on a Hardwood Floor
by nielskunze on March 26, 2014
How’s your footing these days? What’s your understanding? Is it just me, or is the television news and the “events” therein described resembling more and more a bad episode of the Three Stooges? I know, I know… there’s no such (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 24, 2014 New Life Tenacity
by nielskunze on March 24, 2014
The first thing to report is our encounter with a jack rabbit. (Okay, I can’t say for sure that his name really is Jack.) During the preceding weeks I had definitely noticed many bunny tracks in the lingering snow. It (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 21, 2014 And the 49th Resurgence of Winter… Since Just Last Tuesday
by nielskunze on March 21, 2014
(I don’t know why I always pick on Tuesday. For some reason I’ve always regarded Tuesday as the Meg Griffin of weekdays.) There was an old Polish saying which was shared on AK’s site recently; it said “Not my circus. (…)
