One November night in an attempt to get away from my roommate’s clutches, I toddled down to the triple on the other side of the dorm where my friend lived. There, as the skies were darkening, my friend told me about the night she lost her dad.

The bright color of these gorgeous maples along Sheldon Street by the high school was nicley captured by the photographer three years ago. No matter what year, it gets us in the autumn mood.

Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere
|
Recently, I had a chance encounter with a wildlife biologist in the woods. It was on par with meeting a rock star, and I briefly lost my ability to speak, which is something my family has been wishing for. I hung on her every word as she talked about migratory birds and habitat until eventually her narrative turned towards rabbits.
