Because You Always Start From Where You Are


Fruit of Callery Pear Silhouette on a gray day near winter, my street in Brooklyn

Every journey or adventure begins from the same place, where you are. So it makes sense that when you start out to know the names of trees and more about plants that you start near home on the street where you live.

So true. When I started watching the NYC-based series Damages on DVD I found myself identifying some locations by the plants that were in the shot!

How cool is that? I have a funny picture of you in my mind giving directions sort of rural style to tourists. Instead of "make a left or head west on 53rd" it's "keep an eye out for the juneberry and then you will know you're close. Make a left at the Magnolia and head west towards the setting sun."

how true! it's amazing how NOT FAR I've gone in pursuit of all the stuff on the musingsfromdave blog. plus then there's the bonus of realizing that you've made friends with your neighbors.

Big smiles Sarah at you travelling NOT FAR round your pretty awesome slice of heaven, running ground you've covered before and watching wildflowers.
