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.
For now, I leave this set of photos as a salute to the habit of paying attention to detail, a habit attributed to the late Bill Peters by many speakers at his memorial service today. This habit was apparent in Bill's many paintings of birds, always portrayed in their natural habitat. I love doing the same. I cannot walk through the forest with objective of getting somewhere in particular, but, instead, with no objective other than hoping not miss anything exciting. Every photo in this set is a reminder of a moment of excitement that I can revisit over and over during the coming winter. For a closer view and identifying caption, click on each photo.
