Monkeys hide their garbage behind the big rock.

Notice the circle around the tree, the old bark is removed. The city cut the grass the day before, August 19.

August 25 the new cut is still visible.

Same tree as above photo. A tree planted in memory with a plaque.

 I cleaned at Roxboro beach this morning. One bucket of garbage. I did not remove the dog feces, but placed a stone on it to prevent someone from stepping in it. The RSMA water quality test will likely fail until the feces ? washes away?

 Late this afternoon I was at Whitehorse Rapids or Rapids du Cheval Blanc sitting on a rock, on the shoreline just east of the official park. I witnessed people walking their dogs.
"No problem" you think? This one guy and his dog walk back and forth in the same area for about fiften minutes. I did not pay any attention to what they were doing, just noticed the amount of time and wondered what he was looking for.
Later when I walked back to the area, I found out that he was not looking for anything, he was letting his dog do what dogs do.
So I leave the area and go to the official park and the guy is there at the benches. I confront him on the dog doo I found and he says he doesn't see for dog doo, doesn't LOOK for dog doo.
I wonder is this was the same asshole I confronted in early spring one time, who did not clean up after his dog. They know there is no punishment so they let the dog poop there at the park.
I am going to have to wear a body video-camera and post their faces to YouTube and Facebook, maybe someone knows them and will shame them.

At the entrance to the park Canadian geese loved to eat the tall grass in the island.

Got some garbage? where?

You can see it now?

Monkey hid their glass bottle in the side of the fallen tree.
