flyaway > The operator kicks the power take-off back on, and pauses to make sure the rakes are whirling properly before he resumes arranging the cut hay for pickup.
flyaway > The cicadas are actually kind of pretty, in a buggy sort of way. With their lacy wings with orange borders and a "W" near the outside tip, bright red-orange eyes and black shells, they're actually sort of attractive. (I probably won't be saying that in a few days when they're everywhere.) Cicadas sometimes fail to properly inflate their wings after molting; this one is an example. 5-14-04
flyaway > The license plate on the 1963 T-bird shows that it has been there for 33 years, since 1971. 4-28-04
flyaway > We discovered this 1963 Ford Thunderbird in the woods near the edge of a county park. It's several hundred yards and halfway down a good-sized hill from the nearest houses. It must have been driven down there when the area was open, and the woods grew up around it. 4-28-04
flyaway > SIGN-EATING TREE. This photograph was taken near the site of what 150 years ago was a thriving milltown. But the town declined after severe floods in 1868 and 1889, and by the 20th century only the post office and a few houses remained. In 1941 plans were made to demolish what was left of the community to make way for a new reservoir. Much of the land surrounding the future lake was also taken in order to provide a clean watershed, and now most of it is covered by woods that have been growing more or less undisturbed for more than 60 years. An unknown number of years ago, someone posted a sign on this tree. The person is gone now, and the tree has slowly been eating the sign. It feels just a bit strange to have documented a sight that will be gone in another 10 or 20 years once the tree has completely ingested the sign. I imagine hikers, water commission workers and owners of the adjacent property looking at the odd bump in the trunk and wondering what caused it, never knowing there's an old sign contained completely within the heart of the tree. 3-8-04
flyaway > This beautiful male Hooded Merganser was in the ice-free cove on our small lake. It's a windy day and the water is very choppy. 2-18-04

flyaway > A lone female Hooded Merganser swims along the edge of the ice. 2-12-04
