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.
The top photo notwithstanding, I've found it quite liberating to get my mind off the fall foliage. Plenty of other people are submitting nice photos of bright-colored leaves to the various Chambers of Commerce and Visitors Bureaus, and Plumas County is definitely a hot spot for enjoying fall colors. But I've been having a great time discovering fungi, invertebrates, seeds. and persistent flowers. The top photo here was taken in the Courthouse lawn, the bottom one on the side of Chandler Road, and all the rest in my front yard. Great fun, and a learning experience. In shooting the top photo, I barely beat the Leaf Blowers.
