Park Serve Day 2011

April 16 -- A group of volunteers out on Spectacle Island for Park Serve day 2011, including me. (There were at least 83 volunteers on the island) That's Boston in the background. It was really cold that day. I helped here and there and took photos for the park service.

This photo was taken by one of the Park Rangers.

We get there by boat.





Above: I would just like to point how, in the corner of this picture, there is a dog.
Also there are volunteers clearing out the vegetation, in this photo.




Collecting rubbish. This area used to be a landfill, and 100 - year old marbles and things still turn up once in a while.




A lot of dandelions here, around this time of year.
