Tick Free Photo
![]() Right after I took this photo, a huge dog tick crawled onto my leg. The thing about that is: on the one hand, it's a little disturbing in and of itself, but on the other hand, it makes you wonder what other ticks have hopped aboard without being detected. Unfortunately, this has been a heavy summer for ticks. The mountains aren't the only soure; I'm not safe in my backyard, either. Tuesday, 6 July 2010
Jacks River Dip
![]() Last week I brought my camera on a little hike and swim on the Jacks River. The water was nice and cool. ![]() Sunday, 20 June 2010
Race to the Top
![]() This is the sort of enthusiasm which helped Tennessee win the Race to the Top competition. Friday, 10 June 2010
Connecticut "Ocean"
![]() I've had some nice hikes on our New England trip (now wrapping up). Unfortunately, each has been in weather too wet for me to risk brining my camera. So instead all I can offer is pictures of the "sea" (really Long Island Sound as seen from Connecticut; very flat water). I was almost eaten by birds, as you can see from the second picture, and I didn't even see any whales eat any of those people on the rocks. (I don't know those people, but they framed the last shot somewhat well) ![]() ![]() ![]() Saturday, 5 June 2010
New England Roadbed Jumble
![]() We're in New England at the moment. We've spent more time at parks than hiking at the moment, but I'm looking forward to a real hike tomorrow. Saturday, 22 May 2010
Summer's Here
![]() I suppose that we have another week until meteorlogical summer truly begins, but I'd say we're there. Kids are out of school, and soon I'll be out in the woods almost every day. Saturday, 8 May 2010
Hit the Deck
![]() This was the view this afternoon, resting on my back on my deck, looking up at the white oaks in the breeze. I wish I could do it justice. The whispering oaks, glowing leaves, and layers of branches have to be experienced firsthand. Friday, 7 May 2010
You Will Be Assimilated
I showed up at Greenlife this morning to have breakfast, but they were closed for a "company meeting." I had a thought, but I dismissed it as impossible. And yet: it was true. Is this how Guinan felt when the Borg showed up at Earth? Monday, 26 April 2010
Green Cloudland Canyon
![]() Cloudland Canyon made for a green family hike last weekend. The waterfalls were in fine form. Thursday, 15 April 2010
Bastrop Cottonwood
![]() A big cottonwood trunk on the banks of the Colorado River. Photo taken in Bastrop County during my Texas trip ten days ago. Things are finally extra-green here in Tennessee. I'm hoping for an inch of rain once a week all spring long. Sounds good, eh? Thursday, 8 April 2010
The Shady Spot

Austin Changes
![]() I spent last weekend in Austin. They keep building new stuff (and KGSR changed frequencies), but plenty of old standbys remain intact. |
