Phillies WS game 3

This picture is a bitter sweet memory from my first ever trip to a world series game. Phils lost the game and the series and I had to return home to NY and their bandwagon fans.

Sharpe Reservation (Fishkill, NY)

Here is our whole group of SCA'rs before we started the high ropes course. I was one of the four in the group to successfully climb up a telephone poll, stand on it and jump out and catch a swinging trapeze, booya!

Cemetary Restoration

As an environmentalist it's my duty to cut down trees right? Haha, this tree was growing through the fence so I had to take care of it. So we reset, spray painted, and wired the fence together (which was way out of plum). I guess you'd call it restoration, I was definitely confused.

Hognosed

My boss just got done telling me that I needed to develop a few kiosks for the park. So I went out a few hours later and snagged a picture of this rare hognosed snake that I'm doing a kiosk on. The hognosed snake is very interesting in that it will coil up like and fan out like a cobra, but if it senses any further danger they will flop over and play dead. And yes, its nose is shaped like a pig.

Winter prep

I saw this and was really impressed how it was sectioned off in pieces similar to how we cut our firewood. The beavers are most likely sectioning these pieces off so they can take them out to their lodge and tie them down for the winter. The beavers only actually eat the cabium of the trees which is a very thin layer just below the bark, but they need to be constantly chewing on wood to wear down their ever growing teeth.

Hokie leaves

Here is a few of the last white oak leaves to go. They just reminded me of Tech and all the football games I've missed this year, with the maroon and orange colors.
