We went on a couple of walks over the weekend, one was Sanborn Park off Black Road near Saratoga, the other was in the Wilder Ranch Open Space above Four Mile Beach on Route One near Santa Cruz.

Green mossy gnarl.

The fabled banana slug. Note the tiny black eye-dot in the eyestalk.

“Hi, I’ve traveled here from La Hampa to help you.”

I got into this idea that you could take a series of pictures where the frame is horizontally divided into two.

There’s always something uplifting about a cloud sitting on the crest of an upsloping hill.

On the Wilder hike I came across a really big lizard. I was so close to him that he froze, and I had time to get several pictures of him. Love those scales, love the colors.

Who says dinosaurs are extinct?

You see a lot of this particular kind of beetle on the hills by the ocean in Cruz. Very sleek.

I took along the most recent couple of pages of my Mathematicians in Love manscript.

One more Gaian ambassador appeared, a tiny snake sunning herself.

Back to the Union cafe in Cruz, got a blurred photo of hippie dreads.
