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.
Another big snow storm blew in Sunday night. Melted off pretty fast Monday and today, but lots of the early-blooming flowers have been beaten down. An exception, as usual, the rugged dandelions. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be more blooming than before the storm. Could they actually be blooming under the snow? There were lots of shooting star buds, and a few flowers, but many basal leaves of ones that are sure to bloom in another week or so. And, the rock cress is blooming in profusion around the Greenville Y. It, too, seems like a very rugged plant.
