This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.
I have been teaching since 1965 and have recently joined the English Department as an Associate Faculty member at Feather River College. Recently taught Nature Literature in America and am currently teaching Interpersonal Communication and Basic Reading and Writing.
Click on each photo for a closer view and a caption (upper left corner). I took these this morning while wandering around in the quietness of the forest at Oakland Camp. Sometimes I envy the ant for whom each acorn is a mountain and each small patch of lichen is a forest. Then I wonder whose ants WE are. On whose beach is Earth a speck of sand? I get lost in these specualtions, then the kids arrive and we begin our activities on the challenge course, assuming our reality is THE reality. All in all, a very nice day, stretching bodies and minds. Thank you, students of Maybeck High School in Berkeley, CA, for a couple of enjoyable days. Joe
