Rarer than a rainbow
This morning I decided to go to the town of Mendocino with hopes of photographing the sunrise. The skies have been different levels of cloudy lately, and some make for more interesting sunrises and sunsets than others, so I figured I might try my luck. My brain woke up 20 minutes before my alarm went off, so I played on my phone for a few minutes before I got up and put on some warm clothing. I made my coffee, cut up an apple and grabbed a small bag of shelled pistachios to get me through the morning. While I remotely warmed up the truck, I quickly did the few dishes in the sink, gathered my camera bag along with my coat, hat, and boots, and climbed into the truck, setting my playlist on my phone to let Mary Chapin Carpenter welcome the day with me…
I hate mushrooms, but they make pretty photographs
Mountain Goat and I are spending some time at her parents’ place in Mendocino County, and for New Year’s Day, after being sworn to secrecy for the location, we were invited to go mushrooming with a friend of hers. Mind you, neither of us enjoys eating mushrooms (for any reason), but we don’t need much coaxing to get outside and get dirty.
doing this blog thing
When I decided I wanted to do outdoor education, my first thought was to write a blog. I have been a writer since I was a kid, so it made sense.
But no one reads blogs anymore, do they?
