Muddy conditions couldn't slow down our amazing volunteers who planted nearly 2,300 sedges, rushes, trees and shrubs! Thank you to all of the volunteers who came out despite chilly wind and rain to help restore this special natural area in Hillsboro!

The humour continues - when providing the weather conditions for the Athletics last night the description was "British" - ie expect absolutely anything.
By the end of the evening I think they had changed to Jamaican :-)
Conditions @ Shaka's Virginia Beach
All photographs are under copyright for Heather Woolard Photography.
Perfect conditions, about 4 inches of new snow on top of a base, hovering around freezing and sunny. I have probably covered 90% of the trails in this album. I plan on driving here in the summer to get some non-snow pics and finish out the album. Need lots of bug spray though.
Before leaving for our mini-vacation in our cabin, Beth and I got new cell phones. I had not realized that one can take reasonably good photos with a cell phone (5MP) camera. Here are some from my first batch of trial photos. These were taken in a vacant field along a country road. The auto focus feature of the Droid camera had a pretty good focal range and ability to sense lighting conditions.

Photos showing the conditions of Bread and Cheese Creek in the Berkshire area (next to Burger King) before our cleanup on Saturday, September 15, 2012 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, All the assistance from volunteers and sponsor is greatly appreciated!
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by 2014 in preparation for the War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek has been noted as one of the possible highlighted location on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is.
Remember, there plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, “Many hands makes the work light”. We run our cleanups as a family event with all age groups welcome by developing plenty of ways for volunteers to participate.
You can learn more about us through our website at: www.BreadandCheeseCreek.org become our friend on FaceBook, Google+ or follow us on Twitter and/or join the Clean Break and Cheese Creek Group. You can also see photos of our past cleanups on Flickr and our videos on YouTube. You can also subscribe to out Electronic Newsletter.

A soil climate monitoring station in the cold, dry desert of the Wright Valley of Antarctica at the base of Bull Pass (elevation of 150 m). The soil is an Anhyorthel.
Anhydrous conditions occur in very cold deserts. Precipitation tends to be very low, generally < 50 mm per year. Consequently, the soil is very dry (generally < 3% moisture, by weight).

Thinking of devising the mcgonical scale to assess and report in greater depth and with greater accuracy on the condition of dampness... ness. Wet start to the day. 12C. Now sunny as I report. Wind is around a 3/ gentle breeze on the Beaufort Scale... (ie defined as leaves and small twigs constantly moving, light flags extended). Beaufort scale developed to report on sea conditions but invaluable for balloonists. Certainly a great drying hour for Ms McGonical as I use a 21stC travel towel in support of her own methodical preening. Should really have used the flash for a half decent image. Another time.
11:05:15: Wrexham trip next. Post-election,I am struck by the lack of real ambition evident amidst our 'political elite' who must continue to present to want to be elite and be seen to lead rather than open up to being self-aware. The new PM today, despite the blow and bluster that defies Beaufort scale as he talks on Europe sounds terrified. There are other ways to lead such as being exemplary I can see... by being exemplary... sustainable... responsible and creative in guiding and satisfying ambitions and needs. That is why we are still known as h sapiens. Coincidentally there has just been an excellent report on "Weather Conditions" on BBC Radio 4 (ends 10.00am). Worth listening to on-line. So I've changed title from "soggy conditions."
