I have been remiss in failing to link to my recent Nature's Notebook articles in the Lakeville Journal, readable here with free registration. Fair use excerpt of yesterday's piece:
"Sometimes life roils like those hidden high-energy springs that lie below the mountainside, those dark upwellings of silt that pulse with flecks of gold.
Sometimes it concentrates all its glory in the mottled sides of trout, or a scarlet stalk of Cardinal flower.
I am not needed to bear witness to all this beauty, for it has its own intrinsic value, yet in doing so I revive myself. I look for the unremarked jewels that lie at our feet, and still expect to be amazed by this land I know so well."
