Here are the handful of photos I took of my “Place in Nature” for my Ecofeminism independent study class: my front yard before I’ve tried to make it any healthier. I’ll post more photos as things get better! ;)

(A review written in August 2005 of a book suggested by the Philosopher’s CafĂ© group I used to attend. This review, while not that enthralling, is referenced in a later and better blog I wrote on torture. Both are creepily pertinent to today’s issues) – – – – – – – – – – –…
