Come September

Stars16It’s September, the month of summer’s last blooms. The backdrop is an African daisy variety in our backyard called Serenity Lavender Frost. This quote is actually a personal inspiration that I’m sharing this time, specially for those going through a tough period in their lives.

August Memories

A write-up on the Los Angeles Times Travel section a few Sundays ago brought back memories of our coming upon the beautiful Crater Lake in south Oregon one summer. The astoundingly deep blueness of the waters atop Mt. Mazuma lifts my spirits even now, thinking back. The article on LA Times kept me on a happy trip all day… Here are a few of our digital memories.

Happy Independence Day

We just had a short holiday at Mammoth Lakes, California and vicinity. We stumbled upon some pristine lakes, the few that still had adequate water and a sliver of hope for our drought fraught state.

The vastness and variety of America’s natural landscapes never cease to amaze me. And I’m grateful for all those folks that strove, and still do, to keep these areas from commercial development. Humans have taken over most of the landmass, but because of these naturalists, the other species inhabiting earth still have a place to live. This Independence day, I wish that all species one day can live without fear from the largest predator. Humans.
