About the author jmankowsky

This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well. All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.

      Thanks! This is my first time growing eggplant, and the jury is out on whether or not I grow them again. I didn’t like dealing with the aphids all over them. ;-(

      Thanks! It was a fun post. FYI, I am now taking pic of the mushrooms in my yard, having been inspired by you last blogs!
