Birds, Books, Brahms, Babies, Bosons and the Pursuit of True Wilderness: September 2010
http://truewilderness.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. Friday was my third annual backpacking trip to Montebello. It's a perfect little spot for a quick, short photography expedition and night under the stars: the wildlife and habitat is diverse and the sunsets from Black Mountain are excellent. Here are some of my pictures from this trip; not quite the haul I got the last two years but worth it anyway. I took a self-portrait reflected from the frog's eye. Well, the camera and tripod are at least plainly visible. I took this last ...

Birds, Books, Brahms, Babies, Bosons and the Pursuit of True Wilderness: June 2008
http://truewilderness.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 19, 2008. I backpacked solo in Montebello friday and saturday. The lighting was unreal due to a nearby fire. Here are a few of the several hundred pictures I took on friday. I hope you like California grass. Enjoy. At about 5pm a large cloud of smoke covered the sun. Count my aperture blades. As the smoke patch cleared the normal gorgeous colors came out briefly. One of the sweat-sucking little buggers. I think this is a white butterfly mariposa lily. Bees were mobbing the soap plants.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010. I just "finished" Infinite Jest on the plane back from San Diego last night. Then I started from the beginning again because it seems like that's the only way to make sense of it. Infinite indeed. Some thoughts, appropriately disjointed, for myself and others who have already read it:. 4 IJ is clearly a work of mad genius. Don Gately may be the most beautifully rendered sack in all of literature. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). So abundant and novel are the objects of interest in a PU...

Birds, Books, Brahms, Babies, Bosons and the Pursuit of True Wilderness: May 2011
http://truewilderness.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 14, 2011. Montebello 2011 Mini Herp Transect. This year I decided to take my 4th annual Montebello solo 24-hour shindig in the late spring just for some variety. It's a better season for wildlife but much more challenging for the Montebello Light Project. Everything is way too green this time of year, especially after getting a tremendous winter rainfall this year. And here's my haul:. 4 unidentified larval salamanders [1 apparently arboreal, 3 unknown- very dark but too small to be giants].

Birds, Books, Brahms, Babies, Bosons and the Pursuit of True Wilderness: Montebello 2009
http://truewilderness.blogspot.com/2009/10/montebello-2009.html
Saturday, October 10, 2009. My superlative wife let me go on my second annual Monte Bello 24-hour solo backpacking trip this weekend. October is just about the worst month for wildlife here, but that was only part of my reason for going. Here are a few pictures culled from the 300 or so I took yesterday. In the undergrowth around Stevens creek I found a western skink [no newts because of the season]:. I spent a foolish portion of last night rigging up creative ways to catch opossums in my lens, to no ava...

Homestead Time: October 2009
http://homesteadtime.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
What could be more green than a garden? How better to eat? And to save on food? Add a few chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese. And how about goats? We survived in the 70's. Now it looks like it's time to practice homesteading and self-sufficiency again. Monday, October 5, 2009. How do you know? How do you know something is good for you? Our garden food tasted good. All of it. The work was a blessing too. It felt good. That's how we knew it was good. Links to this post. The color of harvest. I earned the priv...

Homestead Time: Thunder

Now it looks like it's time to practice homesteading and self-sufficiency again. Friday, June 12, 2009. Thunder is the sound of hope to me, of change and relief. It doesn't always work out, but usually thunder comes with rain and cooler air, blustery squally air, breathable bug-free air. But there was no sun. It was gone behind roilin...
