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.
Spent a wonderful afternoon at Mike's yard photographing IFOs (Identifiable Flying Objects). Quite an impressive dragonfly hatch is going on somewhere nearby as hundreds were showing up in my friend's back yard. The mating pair of butterflies were impressive, too, in their persistence. Whenever I disturbed them, they'd take a flight around the yard, remaining attached, then carry on after landing in another place. Seems that the larger female is doing the flying and the make is being dragged along for the ride. The smaller, orange butterflies were also abundant and were landing on many different kinds of flowers. Next post will be of some of my friend's flowers - without bugs on them.
