August 16, 2009 | Clouds
I’ve been looking downwards too long. Clouds tell the whole story. Some spectacular pictures.

August 18, 2009 | Burned Out
A favorite hiking grounds two years after a fire; ghosts of trees and of old friendships.

August 18, 2009 | Squash Kings
My little farm is donated plants, bought plants, seeds and volunteers. So two giants show up and I don’t know from where. Send your answers!

August 23, 2009 | Silence
There was no fear, no bliss, no sadness, no joy, no noise. Just silence. I did not need to analyze, nor cling to the moment, nor escape the moment. The world remained as it has always been, and yet anything could have happened. It was the moment of Becoming, the closest we can approach to Now.

August 30, 2009 | Coyote Ugly
Another coyote slaughtered in nearby hills. The irrational contrast between mankind’s treatment of this intelligent, graceful creature and its domestic cousin. Pictures of the disgraceful display of the slain coyote compared to reverent dog burial sites in the same hills. If there’s a post I want everybody to read, this is it.
