Instead of posting more mushroom/fungus photos tonight, I had thought about uploading a few totally different images. However, I have ended up starting to post photos (8) from today, 22 September 2019. We were fortunate enough to be invited to explore another acreage SW of the city. It is so interesting to see that various acreages, really not all that far from each other, can have some different species.
Again, I drove myself instead of carpooling, as I had been invited to a friend's birthday party and needed to get back to the city by a certain time, in order to get a ride with another friend. From years of experience, I know only too well that once you get our enthusiastic leaders into the field, there is no telling how long they will stay out there! Normally, that is fine, but today I had a deadline.
The weather was beautiful for our bioblitz, which was so much appreciated, as there are snowflake icons in our weather forecast in a few days' time. It still definitely feels like fall, though, and golden leaves were constantly falling to the ground, making it a challenge to see any fungi. Many of the mushrooms we saw today have started to rapidly decline, but others proved to be of interest. One of my favourites was a mushroom that had a number of water droplets on its cap. I could be wrong, but I suspect that these were guttation droplets, Usually, I see these on Red-belted polypores growing on tree trunks, so it was interesting to see these on the cap of a smallish mushroom.
We were warmly welcomed by the landowners, Michael and Marie-Claude Singleton. Marie-Claude accompanied us on the walk, which was great. Their beautiful property is a mix of mowed lawn (that certain mushrooms love), grassland and forest. They have a beautiful pond, too, edged with very healthy cattails and other water plants.
Thank you so much, Michael and Marie-Claude, for inviting us to come and see what is growing on your land. The coffee, too, was just what was needed after time spent outdoors.
Also from the field. This was taken while I was hiding in the grass next to the trail, Miss Mady walked by and I scared the bejeebers out of her. It was very funny.
After the majority of people left Dd stayed and we carpooled into town to her weight training and volleyball classes and my math class (the results of my latest math test have left me lamenting). Then we came home, played lot's of Bananagrams and watched more Sherlock. Benedict Cumberbatch.
I am fond of the light in this picture.
This painted utility box is a tribute to great leaders throughout our history. Their images reside on the Boulevard in an effort to influence an alternative mode of transportation. Driving a car day in and day out is not good for our environment. In this depiction, Martin Luther King recommends the bus, Cesar Chavez prefers a skateboard, and John F. Kennedy is carpooling down the Boulevard in a motorcade, as he did in 1963 on his way to San Diego State University to deliver an inaugural speech. Artist Mario Torero, along with students and teachers from the Cesar Chavez School in Barrio Logan completed this box in celebration of Martin Luther King Day, 2008.

Share a Ride
"Want less traffic? Use fewer cars! Commuting Americans have so much extra room in our 140 million cars that we could give everyone in Western Europe a ride. If every car carried just one more passenger on its daily commute, 32 million gallons of gasoline and 600 million pounds of carbon dioxide would be saved each day."
"Carpooling and vanpooling are easy solutions. Get online (erideshare.com) to find people living near you who are also looking to share rides. Companies like Pace offer vanpool options or busing services for people who live and work near one another. Would you like to avoud the hassle and expense of owning a car? I-GO lets you share hybrid cars with people in your locale. Just reserve the car when you need it -- you don't have to pay for gas, insurance or parking."
"Don't just fill your car with gas; fill it with people! Can you join a carpool?"
Project365 • Oct 12, 2009: Had the pleasure of hearing big-name wedding photographer, Becker, speak at a SmugMug meetup! Nick and I carpooled to the event, and then joined Becker and friends for dinner!
An image that requires a long explanation. This is me, circa (that's Latin) 1986. The bike and suv pictured were owned by my friend, Steve Brown, a great influence on me in my early bike riding years. The first time I was in the Trooper, we were carpooling to a ride. There was 4 of us. Steve pulls out this shiny disc from a case and says "Look, I've got the just-released cd from Echo and the Bunnymen". He slips it into a device on the dash and the interior fills with some incredible sounding music. This was the very first time I've seen, much less heard a "compact disc" and the first time I've heard of a group called Echo and the Bunnymen, My mind was blown but I tried to keep my cool.
The bike was a West-coast built Masi, that, thanks to Steve, opened my eyes to the bicycle being a hand-crafted work of art. I saw my very first cut-out bottom bracket on the Masi, and it changed my life. And, wait, tires are glued to the rims?? WTF??? Brooks seats are comfortable? How can that be?? You build your own wheels? Get outta here!!
I'm not sure why I'm pointing to the Kirkland saddle bag, I'm sure I'm in awe for some reason.
I've met a ton of great people in the bike community but Steve will always be a stand-out.
I bought my dress off of Craigslist. Jacque stepped in as bridesmaid at the last minute when a life-long friend canceled. I was stoked that Jacque carpooled with my former boss. They are both (s)heroes of mine.
I started carpooling to work last week. This morning, we had to fight our way through fog zombies to get there.
Fiona had her first day working at SVH as a Pharmacy Tech and we car pooled in. It was odd and cool all at the same time!
Congrats again Fiona :)
Carpooling is something that myself, and my wallet have appreciated. the 20 dollar trip to rocklin (a day for 2 days) gets reduced from $30-40 dollars to about 10-15 dollars a week riding with friends.

The motorcycle is a very popular mode of transportation there, and they're all about carpooling apparently. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the six people on one motorcycle.
But I DID get this shot of a monk on a cell phone. Hee!

Helen poses for me. Of all the women in my writer's group I felt most sympatico with Helen. I enjoyed her company and sought her out for carpooling when we went to Connie's beach house for our writing retreats. I was nurtured by her wisdom and calm attentiveness, yet she never held herself above me though she was a mother of three girls close to my age.
There were five of us at lunch. Two long time members Ann and Connie and a newcomer, Marylee. It took us so long to catch up on what we were doing just as writers that we were at this table until three in the afternoon. Luckily, owing to it being New Year's Eve afternoon, it wasn't busy and the parking police took the day off; we were all in two hour zones and didn't get tickets.
I first went to mandarin recital. Then, I had football practice from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. Mekel & I carpooled throughout all events leading up to football practice and we used a cool app to help Mekel study for flags and I to study for waterways.
Not quite framed properly, but you can see Dave's Xootr which has an aluminum deck. Mine is wood. We are at Stanford near the Weeping Angel memorial. I came by train which is less than a mile away. Afterwards I hopped on the train and went to Millbrae for a meeting with a colleague in her car before our monthly NAPO meeting. Then I carpooled home with yet more friends. So scootering is a very social mode of transport mainly because it folds down.
...That was the name of a playlist that my awesomely awesome friend put together... it consisted of songs that we have sung to in the car when carpooling. She put it together as a surprise for my last day, in which we carpooled together for the last time. This amazing woman made my last day so much fun and made me feel exceptionally loved. Thanks, Lady :)
I spent that Thursday night over at her house perusing her iTunes library to make cds for myself. She has great taste in music!

Since Brookhaven National Laboratory knows how important it is to take mass transit, they are working with Long Island Transportation Management (LITM) to set up a shuttle service for employees who may prefer to take public transit to work.

formerly known as Environmental Home Center. Tour started at Ecohaus w/ lunch, then we carpooled to the house tour. UPDATE: They've changed their name again, to Green Depot.
Wolcott School Students Tiffany Waltman (cq), 10, far left, Lyric St. Julian (cq) 12, second left, Andrea Hammond (cq), 10, second right, and Jordan Waltman (cq), 9, are four of the 20 students who will be affected by budget cuts that are cutting off school bus routes to their homes. Students like the Waltmans, St. Julian, and Hammond would be walking 2.8 miles to school, facing railroad tracks, no sidewalks, traffic, and a bridge. So far, parents have been picking up their kids and carpooling. Parents will be marching down the route in response to such budget cuts.

Day 337 of 365: "Quick Stop"
It actually seems quite fitting to photograph this gas station as part of this 365 project.
I've been carpooling for a couple of years with my buddy Dan from work -- this is where we meet each morning. We've had countless conversations regarding every aspects of this project, all which have always started or ended at this location. Dan's been a tremendous support leading up to and during this entire project.
It's also the place where I've met so many of my photography friends to carpool before we start one of our epic adventures. This "Quick Stop" is actually part of a much longer journey.
(I also worked here one summer while I was in college! Also, take note of the woman in the window, looking at me, wondering why I was taking a picture. I'm such a damn smooth criminal!)
(9/12/12)
Yaay, long long hiatus because I'm way too lazy/busy to even bother with taking pictures (:
But this is a random pic taken on the way home from the ski/snowboard trip with Danielle , Karen , Sonia , Amy , Helen , Vincent , Jerry , and Michael 8D I carpooled with Sonia & Karen .. and we were stuck in traffic because of all the rain and snow , and being bored , I used my phone to take a picture :D This explains the crappy quality .
Rear left brake, engaged while driving, won't let go. Not really a good thing. Guess we're back to carpooling until this can be fixed.
this little batch (and the first batch of the forthcoming "Sep-Nov 02" album) come from a carpooled trip up to DC for the IMF/World Bank protests. i haven't been able to find a good link covering the protests that's not for one specific group or another, but i did find a story suggesting that some measure of justice was being meted out in the form of out-of-court settlements for those people who were surrounded and mass-arrested by police without warning. rumors and newspaper stories of that event settled uncomfortably over the last day of the protest (which is when we were there) and contributed to an atmosphere of tremendous tension and brink-of-disaster fear in the face of countless riot cops brought in from far locales and placed on horseback or behind concrete barricades....on which, more later.
