Off the coast of Dana Point, Summer '12

Lake Tahoe

January 2013 - Heavenly Resort, Lake Tahoe

"On a balmy September afternoon, about a hundred students at one of the finest public universities in the nation are gathered under a sprawling Monterey pine.  'What kind of tree is this?' a professor asks.  Silence.  'How many of you don't know any more than it's a tree?'  Most students raise their hands.  They can converse knowledgeably about chlorofluorocarbons and the ozone hole, but most can't tell a pine from a fir, or even an oak.  The professor is perturbed.  'I don't think we have a chance of changing our relationship to the natural world if you don't know what's around you,' he says."

Mt. San Antonio (Baldy), Summer 2012

6 of us climbed Mount Baldy last Summer- was about 13 miles of steep hiking, but an awesome trip!

I just like this picture, and Winter is ending so it's appropriate.
