Fascinating Fungi

A Quarantine Update
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.

About Me
- Joe Willis
- 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.
I have followed your gorgeous blog for a while now since I'm also an amateur naturalist and have been since childhood when I took my first crocus apart to see how it was constructed and then put it on paper as a science assignment. I don't know if you are interested, but some of my drawings are here: http://www.skineart.com/art/author/roseindigo/
ReplyDeleteSince they are mainly of this county and mainly of plants in this area, you might take a look just for some new ideas as far as sketching. I've been doing this for at least 15 years now and each year enjoying it more.
Your blog is great, with a lot of good information for budding naturalists. Thanks for making it available.
Thank you. I looked at your section of skineart and it is impressive. Have we crossed paths? We certainly visit lots of the same places in the summer.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think we've crossed paths, but if we ever do I will be happy to introduce myself. Usually I'm intrigued by just about any dirt road and go where the spirit leads without any sort of planning and stay out until the sun sets.

I'm sorry that I am anonymous on this site, but I'm a computer klutz and tried to sign up with my internet name and wasn't able to accomplish that. So forgive me for being so mysterious. But I'm roseindigo@peoplepc.com and my name is RoseMarie. The gals at Plumas Arts as well as the Mohawk Valley Art Association know me.
