Edmund de Waal at the Huntington

Visited Edmund de Waal's installation(s) at the Huntington Gardens and Museum yesterday.

This was the last display we visited and it is a haunting one.

Just learned a cool thing

My camping cookset has a trick that has escaped me until now.

The short pot has this indentation around the bottom.

The bottom fits perfectly into the rim of the taller pot. 

Voilà! The pots stack!
The wider pot becomes a lid and allows me to heat a second food at the same time.

How have I missed this feature all these years? 

Desert Guitar

When I first spotted this feature in the desert south of Bakersfield I thought it was a mirage.

Looking West of the Grapevine

Gorman's burned hillsides

I hope these burned hillsides near Gorman can withstand the forecasted El Niño rains and produce a multitude of wildflowers. 

What looks a little like a pinhole capture is really a windshield capture, focused on the raindrops. 

Yosemite Conservation Heritage Center

A young visitor set up a tea party in the YCHC.

My home in Yosemite National Park

Up at 3:00am for a bit of a walk. When I returned to my tent, I saw a scene and snapped a frame. 

I never expected to get this magical capture.
