Miles Wildlife Sanctuary

Here are about a dozen pictures of the sanctuary. The land is owned by the National Audubon Society. This picture would have been a lot prettier if it hadn't been cloudy - I'll try to go back on a nicer day and shoot much more! There's a nice trail all the way around this pond - when I lived here I got some great photos (in the pre-digital age, tho!)

Skunk cabbage and other swamp vegetation abound...
The former owner, Emily Winthrop Miles, was a sculptor, writer, and philanthropist.
This couple is doomed to be forever separated.
Another view of the lady...
...and her lover
They live at the bottom of these stairs...
At the back of this long-empty reflecting pool.
Another view of the house
Lots of wetlands - that's a beaver dam in the foreground (but the beavers weren't out playing today)
Just for fun, a black-and-white shot

Another angle on the swamp in the valley - the winter my daughter was born (1999) we had about a half-dozen bald eagles living here - I'd walk around the pond, watching them and waiting for her to be born.
