Gleaning Facebook: Burwell Today

The beauty of the natural world never gives up - it goes on about it's business of making the world a better place, no matter what we do to it.

I refuse to "like" this one! Chinese privet is about my least favorite plant. It has replaced acres of natives along the Oostanaula. Its only redeeming feature is its attraction to the little feathered dinosaurs that flit through it eating those black berries --- but then the birdies even join the privet conspiracy to replace every native species with privet by planting and fertilizing the seeds simultaneously all over creation!

Stacey Cates: Here's the same path when dry.

This is one of the pathways through the forest that is dry when there's not so much rain (see pic in comments below). My shoes and bottom of my jeans got kinda muddy in just one squishy area right after walking under the Riverside Drive bridge, but after that there was plenty of dry land to walk on. Just the lower places in the forest were filled with water.

Susan Renee: "blighted" land... looks beautiful to me!
