This morning I dropped by the Annisquam River in Gloucester to see if access by boat might be possible there in the near future. I found an almost spring-like scene with a group of mallards enjoying the ice-free water and mid-February sunshine (above photo).
Then in the afternoon Mrs. Trashpaddler and I visited the Assabet River in Concord where this mated pair of hooded mergansers were enjoying similar conditions...
The Annisquam visit netted this batch of trash within a few yards from where I stood...
...including yet another Hooksett Disk. My collection of these delightful little wafers now stands at 1024... almost enough to stock an aquarium-sized wastewater treatment plant.
Later, on our afternoon hike home from the Assabet, this batch of
trash a la mode was encountered along the street and sidewalk...
Hard to believe someone would dispose of their insulin syringes in this fashion. The trash in the above photo was deposited along a 1 mile stretch since last Saturday's snowstorm. Most of it probably came flying out of passing vehicles under the cover of darkness. YTD = 294
