The Hunter

Trail Wood #23.09 Earl Plato

Writer’s Note: On a good March night that means
clear skies. I set up my spotting scope at Crystal Beach Waterfront Park. I look south over dark Lake Erie and find Orion. Years ago at Trail Wood Ed Teale looked into the southern heavens too.
“We see the stars peep out. In the sky to the south-west Orion, the constellation of winter nights glitters with blue-white Rigel and reddish Betelgeuse. To us each brilliant star seems shedding its light only in our direction. It is hard to realize that its beams shoot out in all directions from the ball of its incandescence. That the starlight we see is such minuscule proportion of the whole, Similarly in our walks of Trail Wood what we have observed - things great and small, old and new, animate and inanimate represent a tiny fraction of what has passed unobserved..”
Writer’s note: Why not step out some clear evening and view “The Hunter.”
