Spreads in the Works...

Hey World...here's the beginnings of my Native Plant Book. I'm still developing some textual content, so stay posted.

Rincon

Rincon was quite beautiful. It's amazing to see how nature regenerates itself after the fire. Even the things that still showed remnants of being burned were also really pretty. My favorite things though were the beautiful tall trees and the stream. Here are just a few of my pictures from the trip. Thanks to Gavin for posing in my shot, even if he didn't know til now he was in it. ;-)

Indian Rock

Our fieldtrip to Indian Rock in Vista was kind of fun. It was interesting to learn something new and not only look at the scenery but experience it by touching and smelling plants. The view was beautiful and although it was a bit cold there was blue sky and you could see all the way to the ocean. It's so tragic that this sacred rock has been defaced, but I did find a portion where you could see the original markings clearly (photo3). The story behind the markings was quite interesting too. I could never depict that these marking were for young girls beginning menstruation by just looking at them so I’m glad we had somebody to educate us.
