| 20 Jul 2023 | Life In A Cemetery | 00:32:01 | |
Thanks for wandering through nature with me. In this episode I am at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY. Cemeteries are a great place to find nature. They are usually quite quiet and undisturbed. Wildlife abounds in these holy places. Take a walk through the cemetery to discover what I find there. Apologies and corrections: I would like to apologize for the sound quality of this episode. After recording this, I listened to it in the studio while editing and discovered an annoying loud white noise throughout the entire episode. When I cleaned it up, it made my voice sound strange. Also during the episode I said that I was walking along Cazenovia Creek. It is Scajaquada Creek that runs through Buffalo and the cemetery. I apologize for my brain fart.
