I love the boardwalk at @audubon.org Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in SW Florida. Such a great way to experience a range of wetland habitats and to see wildlife close up

With nearly two feet of snow on the ground and temperatures in single digits, it certainly feels like winter...these photos of sycamores and maples along the Chagrin River are from one month ago when Fall was lingering well into November...

Steven Kwan is helping me compile a list of suspects of who pulled down the map in my office. The first name he suggested was the dog.

“Water for the mill, wine for the stomach”
Spotted in a cafe in Milan. A more whimsical and constructive Italian version of the old adage “whiskeys for drinking and waters for fighting”.

One of the most dramatic locations for a cafe I’ve ever seen (look at bottom of photo), just a few tables perched over the cliff above the Tanaro River (trib to Po) in Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy. Photo from medieval tower that stands over the town).

I’ve been using images of the “vertical forest” towers in Milan in my power points for a long time. Nice to finally see them.

Monviso, the “Stone King” rises in the distance, vineyards of Barbaresco in foreground.
The Po, Italy’s longest river, starts at the base of Monviso. We’ll go visit some spots along the Po tomorrow.

First #WaterYear photo dedicated to water in the form of fog.
Italian word for fog is nebbia and here is a foggy vineyard of Nebbiolo grape near Barolo in the Langhe in Piedmont, Italy, so named because it’s harvested as fog becomes common in the region. Dramatically dreary and beautiful

I took these photos of the Arthur Anderson in 2010 in Huron, Ohio on Lake Erie. Launched in 1952, she is still in active service.

🎶The lake it is said, never gives up its dead, when the gales of November come early🎶
The Edmund Fitzgerald sank 50 years ago, w/ 29 men on board.
Photo is the Arthur Anderson, the boat traveling w/ the EF thru the storm, the last to communicate w/ her & search for survivors
