Top Photo: Christian slogging across wetlands after successful mission to Goose Island.

It’d been bugging me for more than a week, a plastic bag hung up on a tree just off the boardwalk, I’ve been throwing sticks at it, trying to spear it, whatever I could think of to get rid if it. It was just far enough away, and protected by branches, that I couldn’t reach it with whatever object I tossed at it. It was an eyesore. It needed to come down.

A white plastic bag really stands out in a natural environment, your eye is quickly drawn to it.

I don’t know how the bag got in the tree. It must have come in on the air currents, blown in from the neighborhood. All I knew was, I wanted to get rid of it.

Exhibits Fabricator Christian was just the man for the job. After a brief discussion of the problem, he put on a pair of waders, slurped across and through the frigid wetland water, and retrieved the blemish upon the wetlands.

Well done Christian.

Thanks Christian!
