Every time I enter an old growth forest I just feel at home. Taken with my good friend the old black holga on a drive from SF to Mendocino CA.

This years it seems all of our April showers have been of the snow variety but the leaves are finally making there way out of the buds and this sparrow seems to be quite content as well.

We can easily recognize that this has a boss…humans.
This panoramic pinhole is one of many versions of the same type of city scene I repeatedly photograph year after year always with a feeling of how unnatural and repulsive the scene of tangled wires and mid-seventies cityscape is. I always ask why? Why photograph this mess? Does this scene provide a needed contrast in my brain so that I can recognize the beauty provided by the natural world? Experience and modern research suggests that the power of what we call the natural world or nature is innate. It is time we stop believing there are two worlds, the natural and the man made, and realize they are one and the same. Get out and enjoy nature.

We started our hike in Canyonlands NP with fine sunny skies. But it is spring and anything can happen. By the time we finished our hike the sky was dark grey. It was a great hike and the sun sure was trying to break through.

The weekend is here and none to soon. Time to get out and reverse the weekly nature deficit that seems to accumulate each week.
