I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

A Native Meadow
The design that Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux conceived for Central park transformed the rocky, marshy pre-park site into a masterful composition of diverse landscapes to create an idealized expression of rural scenery. These included picturesque woods, serene lakes and ponds, and the landscape type most closely associated with the Park and its creators – pastoral meadows. Meadows figured prominently in Olmsted's and Vaux's vision for the Park, as reflected in the title of their winning competition entry for its design, which they called simply, "Greensward."
The park's designers were focused on the uplifting effect that the scenic quality of meadows would have on the human spirit. But meadows have additional value beyond the psychological effects Olmsted and Vaux emphasized.
Landscapes planted with native grasses and wildflowers produce ecological and environmental benefits. In addition to supporting a broader diversity of wildlife, they can be a practical, sustainable treatment for certain landscape types, once native grasses are established at sufficient height to prevent self-seeding invasive species and obviate the need for mowing.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
