The 712 Project

Charles Allen Haynes

August 1, 2022

After COVID I find myself reluctant to leave our holdings at 712. Bit paranoid maybe but I don’t want that again.

Forty years ago I proposed a project for educational television that would find an acre of the earth’s surface that contained running water, standing water, meadowland and forest and describe as much of the life as could be identified and photographed in and on that acre. Seemed too ambitious at the time I guess.

For as long as I find leaving this lot difficult I’ll investigate what I find here (45’ x 195’), everyday, rain or shine, winter or summer. I’ll identify the images as I find them. The project is a menu item of its own.
