Sunrise over Waveny fields, Veteran’s Day

A photograph of the sun rising over the Waveny fields this morning:
Today is Veteran’s Day. Temperatures were in the low 40′s this morning, the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly.
I haven’t written a blog on Waveny.net in 10 days. It was 10 days ago today that I learned, firsthand, the reason for destroying those acres of Natural habitat beyond the pond. The reason they drove out the animals and plowed over the fields to store their crude oil debris piles is a good reason. They are literally spreading the asphalt all over the park, in the name of “paving the woods”. I’ve written a longer story with pictures but paving our park is such an atrocity I am delaying. Now we’re facing the day when Waveny will be likened to Central Park… a few squirrels, some recreational areas and lots of pavement. I’m glad I grew up in a time when Waveny Park was a Natural setting filled with wildlife and a myriad of flora.
