weekend away

Wheeler Gorge / Sequoia Nat'l Forest. Year three visit to Sequoia.

campsite relaxation. twig mobile. breakfast. small wonders.

giant.

miles and miles. edge of dome rock.

entrance to a secret world.

miniscapes

we made terrariums last night. 

Mammillaria elongata 'Goldilocks' cactus, found snail shell, white rock and Tahitian moon black sand.

Wolf moss, white reindeer moss, dried pine, white rock, and a mini pagoda. This one is still a work in progress. I am thinking of adding some steps and maybe some Irish moss.

Working on a few more, so stay tuned.

Earth Art

What a beautiful place. So many thing go unnoticed until we take a break to look. Here is a brief selection of some of my favorite earth art pieces.

this makes me think of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Which by the way I am seeing in the Dome this Sunday, April 15th.

Legend Of Korra

So happy for a new Avatar... This is going to be amazing. I can only hope Zuko is still around.
