Writer, photographer and wunner (someone who walks and runs?) Anita Harris thanks Ranger Jean Rogers for posting “etiquette” signs for Fresh Pond, Cambridge–and confesses to occasional lapses.

I thought it was nuts for a 50-something professional woman with a responsible job to spend hours a day watching two red-tailed hawks build a nest and a family on the ledge of an office building in Cambridge. But after just a few minutes with the group at 185 Alewife Brook Parkway, it all made sense to me.
My new place is gorgeous-three floors, a garage, a basement, big windows, light…and just a 10-minute bike ride from my favorite morning coffee haunt. There’s a grocery store nearby, a gym, a Chinese restaurant…I have nice neighbors who like gardening so much that they bought some plants that they take care of in my front yard. When you walk down the street, people actually smile and say “hello.”
