Sunshine wasn't easy to find this past week. Wind, on the other hand, was plentiful especially during our late week nor'easter. Thus Tuesday, before the storm, provided my best shot to get out on the water. Launched into the Nashua River from the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge in Harvard, MA.
The water level was high as it's been for all the rivers 'round these parts of late. Here an obstructed stream found a new path to the river...
The first piece of plastic trash encountered...
...proved to be a bad omen when two days later I awoke to a snow-covered landscape.This 2.5 mile stretch of river once again produced plenty of plastic trash, especially those pesky little "nip" bottles of which 104 were sorted out...
The week had the aforementioned storm, and an earthquake. Throw in news reports that get whackier by the day and it's almost enough to make a fellow drive to the airport in hopes of finding refuge on a small island.
