Description

It's a precious image for me because this beauty has been slowly but surely disappearing. It does not look like this anymore. Hurricane, flood, climate change, lack of money for maintenance or just no need for beauty? No water lilies, no frogs, no great blue heron, no gorgeous orange azaleas, no wild yellow irises anymore. This place is at a well known college in MA. It's very sad.
