I got caught up in lesson planning, essay grading, and related matters toward the end of the semester and have only blogged once in December. That's a far cry from post-per-day pace I maintained for most of the past two years. Well, that's about to change. These first two photos are of lichens I found along the path in the forest by my house. The top one actually shows a lot of moss as well. The lichens, with their slow metabolism and often well-hidden, remind me of my usual winter tendency to like to keep the blinds drawn and read by low light near the wood stove.
The remaining five photos were taken by my son with his iPod Touch while we were up on Mt. Hough cutting our Christmas tree.
Final grades are due Monday, and that's when I'll turn over a new leaf and start blogging more frequently again. There will be more emphasis on current writing interests and less photography. I also plan to showcase more of my students' nature writing and writing on environmental issues. Until then, have a happy holiday season.
