Yard work beckons yet again. I may be the only one who'd rather be shoveling snow than tending to the yard. =(

Backyard Blooms
Despite the fallen leaves on the bed they lay in, these bulbs manage to sprout and push their way through the ground cover to bloom!

Fairmount Dam Fishway
The Fairmount Dam Fishway is situated within the Philadelphia city limits on Fairmount Park property, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, 13.6 km (about 8 miles) upstream from the Schuylkill's confluence with the Delaware River. The Fairmount Dam marks the uppermost reach of the tides on the Schuylkill. The improved fish passage at Fairmount will benefit the entire freshwater ecology and economy of the Schuylkill River watershed. (Article excerpt from Philly H20: Fairmount Dam Fishway)

An Afternoon In The Park

Slacklining is a balance sport that uses nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut (although it is still under some tension); it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and different types of dynamic webbing can be used to achieve a variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope. The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive tricks and stunts.
