Fans w/ Musicians / NPR

Cute little stories for a wednesday. I dug the Poison story.

Peter McBride Colorado River Gallery

From Outside Online. Nice text and some really neat images. He gets into the water politics a little bit, enough to wet your whistle, so to speak. Pic below is why there's a problem, the river doesn't make it to the Sea of Cortez any more...

No Browning Required

Good NYT cooking article.

Figueroa Mountain 2011 -- Oaks and Flowers

Combining the images from my 2 cameras in this post, Sara had the 1030SW, me the 750UZ. It's been a really wet spring so the flowers weren't really popping yet, but the leaf flushing on the oaks was pretty awesome.
The Happy Canyon side. We turned around and went up the other side cause of mud.
