Not to be confused with “Meerkats”…
…we have “Mirror Cats”.
Sun-dappled leaves, and other pursuits
Some photos from a recent trek to Knox Farm…. One of my favorite things about walking in the woods is the way the sunlight breaks through in spots, dappling the forest floor in pools of golden light while other spots … Continue reading

Confessions of a Delaware Park First-timer
