Nature Walk?

Today has been really great so far. Woke up at a reasonable hour, had a breakfast consisting of a bagel, tons of fruit, and coffee. Enjoyed the food and read the paper for around an hour.

Went down to the library and did some homework (the resilience alliance has a lot of cool ideas i read about).

I also went for a walk in Tryon and starting reading "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao", which for the first 30 pages has been quite enjoyable.

I took this picture on the walk, kind of trying to explore some ideas of the interplay and relationship between humans and their natural environs. (I'm trying to break down my own ideas of human vs natural, environmental studies isn't a huge fan of that dichotomy.)
