Late July- Early August 2004

Wet and warm - joggers and cyclists with soaked shirts pass me by. The camera lens and eyepiece become fogged. The humidity makes the area feel dense.

I haven't complained enough about the brutal landscaping that was done recently in the area I photograph. A bulldozer wiped out many maturing plants with no apparent regard for the effect on the system. On one level, I consider this human activity as just another element in the complexity of variables that affect the park, but c'mon, how about a little grace and humility.
