@tty @natureworks Oh I love this. It happens on informal bush paths around where I walk — people clear overhanging branches and put stepping stones across muddy patches. These small anonymous fixes on a path where you never meet anyone are all time gifts.

@natureworks @tty I shared this one recently. It’s a creek outlet that constantly shifts position on a busy dog beach. Every day someone takes a moment to make a new little creek crossing for other dog walkers. So in this case there’s also a sense of working with impermanence. I love this aspect.
