How Green Is My Westport

Fish, it is said, don’t know that they’re surrounded by water.

(They also don’t know other important things, like not to bite bait.)

Westporters can be pretty fishy too.

We’re surrounded — from May through September, anyway — by spectacular greenery.  An amazing canopy of trees creates a beautiful, lush landscape that we hardly seem to notice.

Just another summer day on High Point Road.

We’re all over the fall foliage.  But our awesome verdant summers — meh.

I was reminded of this last weekend.  Friends from Virginia were here; later that same day I chatted with a few former Stapleites back for their reunion, now living far from their hometown.

All commented on the greenery that surrounded — and awed — them.

The same scene many of us take for granted every day.
