Absolutely it is quiet. Most of what I've learned has been from zines and Grassroots organizing. Meanwhile, my institution puts out story after story about the jovial benefits of AI helping us build a better hamburger
Concurrently, there is direct action 3 PM this Sunday in Gilroy
Editor decision today *and* docent gave me this mug *which she made by hand* with Jasper Ridge clay as a slip. 🥹 Sally is an amazing artist and birder. It is impossible to pick a top bird, but California Quail is definitely a favorite!
First thing in my inbox this morning. The dystopia is here
When canopy photography for 40 monkey flower study plants is an unexpected (but delightful) place your career takes you
Trying to work outside at the field station today, and it is SO LOUD with birds. I don't think I cam do my video call out here. Spring is here for sure!
Looking west towards the Santa Cruz Mountains yesterday evening after our field class - here comes the front.
By the time we got to the southeast part of the ridge, there were entire fields of the white (or very pale lilac) leptosiphon. A cool landscape story from a tiny plant. 🙂
Leptosiphon occurs in different colors at Jasper Ridge ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma). Here are white ones starting to mix with the pink.
...but typically we see these delicate pink flowers mixed with goldfields and Calif poppies.
A Leptosiphon journey at the preserve on Friday. I know these plants from Sequoia NP when they were known as Linanthus. Here is a lone one growing out of serpentine.
Sooo satisfying. 🙂 And amazing people in this community.
Recent shots from the southern part of the preserve. Incredible visibility... and blooms.
Microsoft Outlook outage meant no email was sent at Stanford for most of the workday.
Another day on the land. Thank you Pepperwood and the Good Fire Alliance!
Amazing Learn & Burn at Pepperwood Preserve last weekend. Grateful for all the Good Fire Alliance does to connect us for these days on the land.
I woke up today and never suspected I would read this combination of words. 😳
Contemplating fire and fire history in the White Mountains on this hot HOT 96 degree day. Keetch Byram Drought Index highest out of anywhere else in NH and crispy vegetation is showing it.
Off to the land of my birth Massachusetts for PTO. Affogato is my favorite dessert, and at some point this spring IG algorithms showed me this idea to make a "gas station affogato." 😱 I am not all surprised to learn the scene of this crime was somewhere along the Mass Pike.
A lot of going through office paperwork lately in-between website updating. Read an interview transcript on a 1924 diving Olympian who trained at Searsville Lake. And I found the drilling contract for Baldwin Lake. 👀
Someone should compile these DJT impersonators 😂 a.k.a. heros among us. We had one in Mountain View today. 🤣😂
I could have sat on the barn porch all evening. BORR always reminds me of Henry Coe SP and the "hills of home."
Here is a cool panel of the p.o. leaves and neighboring plants to compare leaf shape. Gratitude to Tommy Stoughton for a beautiful supplement (with R code!) from a Claytonia pub. Tommy used to be on Twitter when we were both doing dissertations in the San Bernardino Mountains.
