Seeking Solace On the Sudbury

 

The placid waters of the Sudbury River in Wayland MA seemed a good place for getting my mind off all the past week's disturbing news and images, while at the same time trying to process it all...a contradiction...I know.

Anyhow, I soon encountered this unfortunate carp-on-ice...

...and began looking around for the usual suspects.  Just a little more than half a mile away I came upon the likely culprit sitting on a pile of what he might call his toothpicks...

...

Further upriver, the still high water levels allowed access to Heard Pond.  The pond, however, was found to be iced over...

On a spit of land between the river and the pond these remains of an earlier habitation were found:
Perhaps an in-ground fridge...

A space-saving corner sink...

A small skull with a good set of teeth...


That day's trash...

And a bit from the Assabet in Concord last Sunday...

 
May our U.S. Constitution continue to serve as our steadfast compass.
