Evergreen Needles, Ferd's Bog

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 5 April 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This is a small evergreen that I found growing in Ferd's Bog in the Adirondacks. The bog was very interesting in that the ground was covered with soft, wet sphagnum moss, pitcher plants, and the skeletons of only a handful of very small evergreens that had the audacity to try to grow in the soft, saturated ground.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
