The Field
A two hundred yard walk from my home through the woods takes me to an abandoned farm field that is returning to nature. In southern Rensselaer county where I live the farms are long gone and the area is slowly evolving into suburbia. Walking the field and observing the seasonal changes is a relaxing yet bittersweet pastime. The sounds of construction equipment on the adjacent hillside are a reminder that the return to nature will be brief and the transition to suburbia is as inevitable as the change of seasons.
