Ivy grows up the brick wall

Taking photos of Taqhuitz Rock on Monday, I joked about getting frostbite. Little did I know that Search & Rescue teams had just finished a 3-day mission extracting 2 hikers from Taqhuitz after falling in the middle of a storm. These are the true heroes who deserve our deep thanks for their service

Men are clueless to the dangers of simply existing in public as a woman. Do any men honestly think this warning at the local bar applies to you?
Which begs the question, shouldn't this sign be posted on the opposite wall so women, who sit to use the bathroom, can see it?

This book changed me & how I looked at what literature could be, w/ characters like Can o' Beans, Dirty Sock, Spoon, Painted Stick, Conch Shell & Salome doing the dance of the 7 veils on Super Bowl Sunday to save us all. Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle sent me into existential crisis. This book healed it.

This crazy mushroom is about the size of a Nerf football. A few weeks ago it was white, but now is full of subtle colors of pumpkin orange and green. #FungiFriday #IdyllwildAirship

Falling in love with the macro discoveries of moss and lichen, but I know little about the tiny forests in our forest. Educate me. What's this orange lichen, that seems fairly hardy even amid this dry, dry winter?

Sunset and moon over Diamond Valley Lake. I've flooded all the other apps with Idyllwild sunset photos, I suppose it's time to start here!

Was it THAT Flea who stayed at the Idyllwild Inn in 1987? Who knows. But at that point, RHCP had only sold about 75,000 records. How many folks were running around Southern California named Flea back then?

Seems like a fair sampling for an introduction. On a day like today it could have easily been Camus - The Stranger, The Fisher King, Joy Division -Unknown Pleasures and Severence

Walking through Balboa Park a couple days ago and suddenly the album cover for Hotel California came to life before my very eyes!
