Who knew where last week’s photo of a carved owl was? (Click here to see.)
Susan Iseman, Jennifer Piseck and Elaine Marino, that’s “who.”
It’s at Earthplace. It’s just one small part of a magnificent, sometimes overlooked Westport facility. If you haven’t been to the science, conservation and education center off off Stony Brook Road, click here — then check it out in person.
This week’s Photo Challenge shows a different bit of nature. If you know where in Westport you’d see this watery scene, click “Comments” below.

The approximate location of the future home of the taxpayer financed “town dock and floating restaurant barge” – and adjacent to the taxpayer financed “adventure water park”.

By the library. On edge of the river.,

Thank you @Morley Boyd. Always wondered why those steps were there! Is the report available online?
You’re welcome, Bill. Yes, the Plan, such as it is, may be found by digging deep into WestportCT.gov. Notwithstanding the fact that officials meet regularly with the intent of implementing the Plan’s ideas – no matter how ill conceived or wasteful they may be – I suspect the present leadership would actually prefer that the whole thing be quietly placed on a shelf. Along with all the other “plans”.

This might have been the easiest Photo Challenge ever. Yep, it’s the steps leading to the Saugatuck River, at the Riverwalk by the Westport Library. Next week, it’s back to a tough one!
