The trail down was a continuous traverse along the side of the ridge rather than a series of switchbacks. Some parts of the trail required care ad caution while other parts were quite straight forward. the next trick after this point was to determine when to leave the travers and head straight downhill before traversing right on past Longtown. Not an easy task since signage was minimal at best and mostly nonexistent at this point.

Here is the stoplight in front of the Board of Trade. The building seems to be dematerializing at the top, perhaps it's like the face on the Ceres statue. (nonexistent?)
Sidney Woodruff, graduate student, talks about how to how different the Red Ear Slider and the Western Pond Turtle are as they record data from a Red Ear Slider with Emily Phillips (blue), a ecology graduate student, Natalia Younan (pink), a wildlife and fish coservation major, Raaghav Sexena, animal biology major, and Catelyn Bylsma (grey), evolution, ecology and biodiversity major, in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.
Providing this opportunity will allow undergraduate students to be involved in wildlife conservation research under the supervision of a graduate student mentor and PI while also supporting the objectives of this study and the restoration of the UC Davis Arboretum.

Sorry about the picture… not some of my best work… but that’s ok because this is not some of Lagunitas’ best work. I put the beer by the light switch in the picture to play off the shutdown part (clever eh? (Yeah I know: (not so much)))
The American strong ale pours copper in color with a head that is almost nonexistent, a little unimpressive.
Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale smells of pine and caramel.
Taste is woody and pine flavor mixed with some dark fruits, a little of the alcohol comes through in the end also.
The mouthfeel is medium in carbonation and ends crisp with slight warmth from the alcohol.

Girl at the Bethel Outreach Children's Center in the Nairobi slum of Kibera holds up her Peepoo toilet on April 4, 2012, next to a garden fertilized by human waste. Toilet facilities are in poor condition or nonexistent in the slums, and safety concerns make using a toilet sometimes difficult for women and children. (VOA Photo/Jill Craig)

I found this quote today....and I like it a lot. :)

And since this is another Lightroom edit, a story: I applied one of the presets, creamtone b&w, I think, then messed with the shadows and opened it in Picasa for text. After finishing everything, I exported it to where I could upload from, but get this: the file size had exploded into over 20 megabytes! I couldn't even upload it to Picnik to resize it. :) After a session of head scratching, I looked in the folder and found a version that was something like 2 MBs....I have no idea how it got there, but am alright with it if it meant flickr would accept it. :)
Did you read that whole thing? Ice cream to you! ;)
But have you ever experienced that?
PS - My uploads this weekend may be sketchy/nonexistent, as I won't be home much. But I'll try to keep taking photos. <3, M
View from 10th Street in Downtown, facing nearby Wheeling Island in West Virginia, USA. According to Google Maps, the road ahead remains 10th Street until the first intersection of Wheeling Island, at which point it becomes Virginia Street. (If you turn left at this intersection, you'll go onto Main Street. This road is one-way, which explains why right turns are nonexistent at the location shown here.) The Wheeling Suspension Bridge, whose original construction predates the advent of motor vehicles, crosses the Ohio River.
As you can see, there are a series of traffic signs (pictured at right) that lay down the restrictions concerning vehicles as they use the bridge. Speaking of signs, the one at left appears to be a state historical marker.
The author used Apple Preview, which comes factory-installed on iMacs, to edit this photograph. The square pictured with the car turning left was added exclusively to conceal its license plate.

This is my first attempt at HDR.
It was a sunny day so I decided to visit The British Museum. Unfortunately by the time I got there, it became cloudy and the dramatic deep blue sky I had hoped to capture with sun light streaming through the curved glass roof and casting shadows were nonexistent. :-( Instead the sky turned a whitish grey and inside the museum everything looked dull and colourless. So HDR to the rescue!
All the shots were taken handheld (who says you need a tripod) 3 bracketed exposures set at continuous firing.
After a few hours at the museum as the weather was poor I decided to visit Westminster Cathedral. I had to struggle to get there and find parking. Once inside I found out that photography wasn’t allowed during a service so I had to wait around an hour until it finished. I think I captured some good shots for HDR but unbelievably, when I got back home and started to download the photos, half way through the download the memory card got somehow got jammed and I couldn’t download the photos from the church. What a nightmare! A wasted afternoon:-( By the way, this was a new 32GB Kingston elite pro card. The shop recommended it to me as they didn’t have the Lexar in stock that I wanted. So I won’t be buyer Kingston cards again.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.
As it’s my first attempt at HDR I would be grateful for your comments, criticisms etc.
Dad: so like i said…
Daughter #1: if i want to be a lesbian i will. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? do you seriously think i’m out here having sex with every man, woman, and child. I’M NOT A WHORE! i believe in God and Jesus too, it’s just my preference and what i’m attracted to. i haven’t done a damn thing with anyone. and if i decide to one day, it’ll be with someone who’s special and means something to me. i’m not into one night stands or flings.
i know i like to joke around a lot, it’s cuz life’s short to be this serious. my parents are serious enough for all of us, so i know i look like someone that likes to joke around a lot. but when it comes to my relationships, i’m pretty serious. i don’t find it funny being a lesbian, i’m not gonna dance around on a float with no clothes on, screaming at the top of my lungs. that shit looks stupid as fuck!
and NO! I’M NOT A BOY! but i do like basketball and other sports. i mean i guess i could like dudes and suck every one of their dicks like Kim K. or get married to a MAN, then be on my 3rd divorce. what the fuck does marriage even mean at that point? my grades are ok, i’m not trying to become a doctor or anything. WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THAT? i don’t want to live my life EXACTLY like YOU! that’s why this is MY LIFE and you have YOURS.
Daughter #2: yea, i’m a fucking whore and i had a few abortions. thanks for coming with me Kim. it’s all my fault, apparently, it always is. my mom’s a nun, who still looks like a whore. i’ll never be as perfect as her, if only she actually told people the bullshit she did before marrying dad. when was the last time i hung out with my dad? i don’t even know because he’s always working. when he is home, he’s FORCING me to hang out with him. all he does is talk about the good old days and his life. he’s not that great of a listener, he’s a workaholic and attention whore.
we have a really nice house and my rooms really nice but i don’t have that great of a relationship with my parents. i kinda keep to myself and try not to tell them shit because it just pisses them off, so i spend a lot of time talking to guys. i think they’ll be BETTER than my dad and maybe i can seek revenge. if i suck enough daddy dick, maybe MY dad will come back and stay? in which, then i’ll get BORED of him because i’m not used to a stable father figure, he is rich though. i like the attention they give me, it’s more than my dad gives me. he thinks he’s fucking perfect and i already told you my mom thinks she’s a nun right? all this perfectionism pisses me off, so i think i was sent here to fuck up their life. i like attention and let’s be real, dad’s horny as fuck for all 3 of us girls.
mom’s working out again, i guess i’ll join her. i almost ate 2 desserts once and she lost her shit. maybe if all of us are nice and thin, dad will become WHITE [rolls eyes] and mom will be just as smart. the both of them are insecure as fuck. you’d think with all this money and fame, they’d have a little more sex. they don’t, so I DO, to make up for their nonexistent sex life. black men are really good in bed, as if i’ll ever marry one. dad gets a lot of attention, which pisses my mom and sisters off. he acts like he could have gotten this far without her. i think it’s fucking hilarious that he thought marrying a white woman was going to be the answer to all his prayers.
I’M NOT A BOY! my sisters definitely a faggot ass bitch who talks too much and bosses me around. my mom’s practically a man and my dad’s a pussy. he’s like this perfect gentleman on the outside but screams bloody murder at home, he gets really angry. they really need to be having a shit load of make up sex, but they don’t. instead they take all their anger out on me and my sisters. so i have a lot of online sex and real sex to numb the pain, a little bit of porn.
i swear when the both of them are yelling at the top of their lungs at me, they really just want to pin ME down and fuck me. so i’ll STAY and we can continue to look like a perfect family. but how stupid is it for them to want ME to stay, while the both of them keep running around. he’s “working” 24/7 (he gets more respect at the office and there’s too much estrogen at home) and she’s running to a friends house or to the mall, anything to get revenge on dad (YOU DON’T OWN ME! I’M NOT PROPERTY!). I’LL NEVER BE AS SMART AS YOU DAD! YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW! maybe have another kid, this one might be a BOY!
Daughter #3: it’s not that i don’t like to speak. it’s that when i do speak, what i say doesn’t matter to the listener because i’m not [fill in the blank]. obviously, i’m a GIRL. so i should be stupid, speak more gently, do things a certain way.
Mom: DO YOU KNOW WHY I CALL PEOPLE FAT? i work out every day, eat right, and care for this whole family. ALL THIS GUY DOES IS COMPARE ME TO ZOHRA (ESTJ) AND SIA (INFJ)! I’M NOT THEM! I’M HIS WIFE AND HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HIM THROUGH EVERYTHING. ALL HE DOES IS WORK WITH A BUNCH OF ZHORA’S JACOBS (INTP) AND SIA’S! then comes home, and complains that i’m not like them. I WAS A VIRGIN WHEN I MET HIM! I MEAN I HAD A FEW BOYFRIENDS BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED, BUT I NEVER SLEPT WITH ANY OF THEM! i’m a good catholic! what if he didn’t want to marry me, if he knew the truth?
i know he’s smart, that’s one of the big reasons why i married him. but then he throws that shit in my face whenever he starts to feel insecure. I’M NOT YOUR MOTHER! i swear sometimes when he starts yelling, it’s like he’s yelling at his mother. it’s like i’m paying for the bullshit they went through. he says shit to me that he wouldn’t dare say to his mother, and there’s only so much i can take before i loose it and fight back. while he’s gone to work 24/7, i’m over here making sure everything’s running smoothly. i’m not Carla Johnson (ESFP), i’m loyal to my husband. we’ve been through so much shit together. YES! i ordered more things, it’s not a different MAN OR SON!
i do feel insecure that my daughter’s a gay and that the other one’s fucked an entire basketball team. the other one doesn’t say anything, she just watches all of us loose our shit, then cries in her room. i said like ONE THING to her the other day and she started crying a whole bunch. she’s so sensitive, i don’t even know what there’s to cry about. WE GIVE HER EVERYTHING! My husband and I have worked so hard to get where we are today. He’s educated and put together. I’m not as smart as him but i made a home for him and our three daughters.
we do fight a lot about him not having a son, which does anger the girls. they don’t feel good enough because he keeps wanting a boy. i do too, maybe if i had a son, he could become a doctor, lawyer, or dentist? maybe it’d make ME look less stupid? maybe our family would feel more SECURE with a boy in the house? my husband isn’t going to live forever. it’s funny cuz he’s so old now and still cares so much about what his parents think of him. it’s never been enough for them, he’ll probably spend his entire life trying to impress his stupid, weak, gossipy parents. WE’RE A POWER COUPLE! i’ve spent my whole life trying to be perfect for my family too. some of the reasons why we got together was for business, adventure, and revenge.
we both want to be seen and heard by our parents, who were never emotionally or mentally available. i didn’t come from as much money as him, what i brought to the table was my white skin and thin waistline. so if i want to call you a FAT BITCH! i will. i know i made fun of you in High School for dating Shabhi T. (ENTP), but yea. maybe if i go to church more, God won’t find out that i’m a stupid, dirty whore. FINE! LEAVE ME THEN! this is why men are so STUPID! if no man wants me and i’m a nun, i’m a looser and unattractive. if every man wants me and i’ve had premarital sex, then i’m a fucking whore. the same guy who’s calling me a whore right now STILL WANTS TO FUCK ME! and marry me.
Kim K. (Clinical Research Assistant): [nods] you’re right.
Yes, I've been a terrible Flickr contact lately. No uploading, no commenting, pretty much nonexistent. Unfortunately, that's not likely to change any time soon. Not only is life going to be exactly as busy as it's been, I'm going to try writing a novella in a month.
Rest assured, though, my friends – I am paying attention.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

1993 Suède Sweden Svezia
Escapade en train à Blåhammaren, dans le nord de la Suède, près de la frontier norvégienne.
Il est conseillé de savoir lire une carte et utiliser la boussole, car les sentiers ne sont pas bien marqués et on ne rencontre quasi personne ... le temps peut aussi changer brusquement : en qq minutes on passé de l'été à l'hiver avec de la neige (meme en plein mois de juillet).
Week-end close to the Norwegian border, in the north of Sweden, at Blåhammaren.
It is recommended to be able to read a map and use a compass because the paths are almost nonexistent ... the weather can also change within minutes going from Summer into Winter (with snow mid of July).
Camminata vicina al confine con la Norvegia, a Blåhammaren (2 giorni).
Saper leggere una mappa e utilizzare una bussola è d'obbligo perché i sentieri non si vedono bene. E non c'è molta gente da incontrare ! Subito il meteo può anche cambiare da estate a inverno con neve a metà luglio !
Mirador Cinchona was only half an hour from La Paz Waterfall Gardens but when we arrived, it was totally socked in with clouds from a thunderstorm and the light was almost nonexistent. Although we stuck around for about half an hour, it really was not productive.
listen to the wind
we found it relaxing to watch the waves and then on the way home saw a prescribed burn taking place.....hello common sense....nonexistent!
The Flips supporting Meredosia, Bad Catman, Bookmobile, and Looming at Black Sheep Cafe in Springfield, IL on January 17, 2014.
Words cannot describe how good it felt to be shooting another show at Black Sheep after so long. It doesn't have the greatest lighting and the photo pit is nonexistent, but I just feel so at home there because that community of people is just incredible. They all support each other so much and it's amazing to be a part of that and to get to photograph it every so often. And then getting to be the guest photographer for Harm House's "Record of the Night" was absolutely awesome. Honestly, when I look back, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am to the Black Sheep venue and community for everything they've done for me. This was my training ground when I was really getting started, and these are the people who took me in and accepted me without question and without reservation. That, and they put on some kick-ass shows =)

I saw my first-of-year Bluebird just 9 days ago, but didn’t get any decent photos. Today however, I found at least 4 birds and got within photo range more than once. With this nearly nonexistent winter, I have to keep reminding myself that it’s still February and not April. Hennepin County, MN 02/21/24

mom’s working out again, i guess i’ll join her. i almost ate 2 desserts once and she lost her shit. maybe if all of us are nice and thin, dad will become WHITE [rolls eyes] and mom will be just as smart. the both of them are insecure as fuck. you’d think with all this money and fame, they’d have a little more sex. they don’t, so I DO, to make up for their nonexistent sex life. black men are really good in bed, as if i’ll ever marry one. dad gets a lot of attention, which pisses my mom and sisters off. he acts like he could have gotten this far without her. i think it’s fucking hilarious that he thought marrying a white woman was going to be the answer to all his prayers.
I’M NOT A BOY! my sisters definitely a faggot ass bitch who talks too much and bosses me around. my mom’s practically a man and my dad’s a pussy. he’s like this perfect gentleman on the outside but screams bloody murder at home, he gets really angry. they really need to be having a shit load of make up sex, but they don’t. instead they take all their anger out on me and my sisters. so i have a lot of online sex and real sex to numb the pain, a little bit of porn.
i swear when the both of them are yelling at the top of their lungs at me, they really just want to pin ME down and fuck me. so i’ll STAY and we can continue to look like a perfect family. but how stupid is it for them to want ME to stay, while the both of them keep running around. he’s “working” 24/7 (he gets more respect at the office and there’s too much estrogen at home) and she’s running to a friends house or to the mall, anything to get revenge on dad (YOU DON’T OWN ME! I’M NOT PROPERTY!). I’LL NEVER BE AS SMART AS YOU DAD! YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW! maybe have another kid, this one might be a BOY!
Daughter #3: it’s not that i don’t like to speak. it’s that when i do speak, what i say doesn’t matter to the listener because i’m not [fill in the blank]. obviously, i’m a GIRL. so i should be stupid, speak more gently, do things a certain way.
Mom: DO YOU KNOW WHY I CALL PEOPLE FAT? i work out every day, eat right, and care for this whole family. ALL THIS GUY DOES IS COMPARE ME TO ZOHRA (ESTJ) AND SIA (INFJ)! I’M NOT THEM! I’M HIS WIFE AND HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HIM THROUGH EVERYTHING. ALL HE DOES IS WORK WITH A BUNCH OF ZHORA’S JACOBS (INTP) AND SIA’S! then comes home, and complains that i’m not like them. I WAS A VIRGIN WHEN I MET HIM! I MEAN I HAD A FEW BOYFRIENDS BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED, BUT I NEVER SLEPT WITH ANY OF THEM! i’m a good catholic! what if he didn’t want to marry me, if he knew the truth?
i know he’s smart, that’s one of the big reasons why i married him. but then he throws that shit in my face whenever he starts to feel insecure. I’M NOT YOUR MOTHER! i swear sometimes when he starts yelling, it’s like he’s yelling at his mother. it’s like i’m paying for the bullshit they went through. he says shit to me that he wouldn’t dare say to his mother, and there’s only so much i can take before i loose it and fight back. while he’s gone to work 24/7, i’m over here making sure everything’s running smoothly. i’m not Carla Johnson (ESFP), i’m loyal to my husband. we’ve been through so much shit together. YES! i ordered more things, it’s not a different MAN OR SON!
i do feel insecure that my daughter’s a gay and that the other one’s fucked an entire basketball team. the other one doesn’t say anything, she just watches all of us loose our shit, then cries in her room. i said like ONE THING to her the other day and she started crying a whole bunch. she’s so sensitive, i don’t even know what there’s to cry about. WE GIVE HER EVERYTHING! My husband and I have worked so hard to get where we are today. He’s educated and put together. I’m not as smart as him but i made a home for him and our three daughters.
we do fight a lot about him not having a son, which does anger the girls. they don’t feel good enough because he keeps wanting a boy. i do too, maybe if i had a son, he could become a doctor, lawyer, or dentist? maybe it’d make ME look less stupid? maybe our family would feel more SECURE with a boy in the house? my husband isn’t going to live forever. it’s funny cuz he’s so old now and still cares so much about what his parents think of him. it’s never been enough for them, he’ll probably spend his entire life trying to impress his stupid, weak, gossipy parents. WE’RE A POWER COUPLE! i’ve spent my whole life trying to be perfect for my family too. some of the reasons why we got together was for business, adventure, and revenge.
we both want to be seen and heard by our parents, who were never emotionally or mentally available. i didn’t come from as much money as him, what i brought to the table was my white skin and thin waistline. so if i want to call you a FAT BITCH! i will. i know i made fun of you in High School for dating Shabhi T. (ENTP), but yea. maybe if i go to church more, God won’t find out that i’m a stupid, dirty whore. FINE! LEAVE ME THEN! this is why men are so STUPID! if no man wants me and i’m a nun, i’m a looser and unattractive. if every man wants me and i’ve had premarital sex, then i’m a fucking whore. the same guy who’s calling me a whore right now STILL WANTS TO FUCK ME! and marry me.

Dad: so like i said…
Daughter #1: if i want to be a lesbian i will. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? do you seriously think i’m out here having sex with every man, woman, and child. I’M NOT A WHORE! i believe in God and Jesus too, it’s just my preference and what i’m attracted to. i haven’t done a damn thing with anyone. and if i decide to one day, it’ll be with someone who’s special and means something to me. i’m not into one night stands or flings.
i know i like to joke around a lot, it’s cuz life’s short to be this serious. my parents are serious enough for all of us, so i know i look like someone that likes to joke around a lot. but when it comes to my relationships, i’m pretty serious. i don’t find it funny being a lesbian, i’m not gonna dance around on a float with no clothes on, screaming at the top of my lungs. that shit looks stupid as fuck!
and NO! I’M NOT A BOY! but i do like basketball and other sports. i mean i guess i could like dudes and suck every one of their dicks like Kim K. or get married to a MAN, then be on my 3rd divorce. what the fuck does marriage even mean at that point? my grades are ok, i’m not trying to become a doctor or anything. WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THAT? i don’t want to live my life EXACTLY like YOU! that’s why this is MY LIFE and you have YOURS.
Daughter #2: yea, i’m a fucking whore and i had a few abortions. thanks for coming with me Kim. it’s all my fault, apparently, it always is. my mom’s a nun, who still looks like a whore. i’ll never be as perfect as her, if only she actually told people the bullshit she did before marrying dad. when was the last time i hung out with my dad? i don’t even know because he’s always working. when he is home, he’s FORCING me to hang out with him. all he does is talk about the good old days and his life. he’s not that great of a listener, he’s a workaholic and attention whore.

Kim K. (Clinical Research Assistant): [nods] you’re right.
Friday and Saturday were spent making this donation box, judges' cards, a boxing ring, projection screen and a million other things for Bland Hack's beatboxing event at MINT. It all paid off. I think we did pretty well for a nonexistent budget.
Doubledecker buses outside of tourist buses are nonexistent in NYC. This 1931 built bus known as "Betsy" is a unique example of early bus transit.
My computer is nonexistent. So I cannot upload pictures off the camera I actually use to take effortful photos. So, crappily composed iPhone photos it is! Burnt Lake hike, July 4, 2014.
This is my first attempt at HDR.
It was a sunny day so I decided to visit The British Museum. Unfortunately by the time I got there, it became cloudy and the dramatic deep blue sky I had hoped to capture with sun light streaming through the curved glass roof and casting shadows were nonexistent. :-( Instead the sky turned a whitish grey and inside the museum everything looked dull and colourless. So HDR to the rescue!
All the shots were taken handheld (who says you need a tripod) 3 bracketed exposures set at continuous firing.
After a few hours at the museum as the weather was poor I decided to visit Westminster Cathedral. I had to struggle to get there and find parking. Once inside I found out that photography wasn’t allowed during a service so I had to wait around an hour until it finished. I think I captured some good shots for HDR but unbelievably, when I got back home and started to download the photos, half way through the download the memory card got somehow got jammed and I couldn’t download the photos from the church. What a nightmare! A wasted afternoon:-( By the way, this was a new 32GB Kingston elite pro card. The shop recommended it to me as they didn’t have the Lexar in stock that I wanted. So I won’t be buyer Kingston cards again.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.
As it’s my first attempt at HDR I would be grateful for your comments, criticisms etc.
You can take the phone out of the pay phone stop, but apparently you can't take the pay phone stop out of the phone.
That's my friend Cassie kind enough to demonstrate the incredible difficulty of placing a call on a nonexistent pay phone. Well done, Cassie!
Maine state capitol in Augusta. The only other time I've seen this building was way back in late summer 1996. The dome was green then. Coppery green, like the Statue of Liberty (as is given away in the collage picture of the capitol made of business cards posted here). It was recently repainted black, within the last few years.
It's a fairly straightforward and understated capitol which makes it enjoyable. The city of Augusta...an unusual place. A town of 20,000, there aren't many amenities here, and public transportation is nonexistent. I was incredibly lucky to get uber drivers, according to the one who drove me back to the bus station. Overall, Maine isn't a place to be if you aren't driving yourself around.
OK, change of plan. Instead of redecking, we're rebuilding one side of the substructure where it's basically nonexistent. The trusty Land Cruiser gets pressed into hauling service.
If you listen really closely at this point, you hear something like an old TV quite some distance away and tuned to a nonexistent station. I'm told that these rapids are enormous and deafening if you're down at the river.
I strongly suggest you click the "All Sizes" button to look at the large image for at least all the Grand Canyon shots, if no others.

I almost lost the light because I got caught up writing my NaNoWriMo novel. I quickly popped out with my camera, took a few landscapes as the sun ducked below the mountains, then snapped on my trusty macro lens and took a few frames of a few small things. This one, of Rose of Sharon seed pods just barely starting to spill their seeds, ended up being my favorite shot for the day, especially once I applied Picasa's "Lomo-ish" effect. I think it would be fun to shoot with a Lomo or Diana at some point, but right now my camera equipment budget is nonexistent, so it's fun to occasionally play with the effect.

Kim K. (Clinical Research Assistant): [nods] you’re right.
We were standing outside devouring a slice of pizza when my friend noticed a few people trying to get buzzed up to this open house. We followed them up on a whim just to see how people live in the West Village. Let me tell you, it is not good. She was not impressed by the granite in the bathroom, which according to her was cut wrong and painted over, details I missed. I was more appalled by the size of the almost nonexistent kitchen/living room/dining room/hallway combo. We didn't stay long enough to ask about the overpriced rent.
Elevational gradient is an ecological pattern where trends in biodiversity occur at different elevations. Mountains are considered "hotspots" of biodiversity. Depending on a certain elevation level, ecosystems change. Mount Lemmon is a prime example of such a pattern. At lower elevations, Saguaro cacti pervaded the landscape. At higher elevations, the cacti were basically nonexistent. Instead, pine trees dominated the scene. Human activity such as continuing land development (habitat destruction) pose a threat to unique ecological phenomenon such as the one existing on Mount Lemmon.

Sidney Woodruff, graduate student, talks about how to age date a turtle for her research with Emily Phillips (blue), a ecology graduate student, Natalia Younan (pink), a wildlife and fish coservation major, and Catelyn Bylsma (grey), evolution, ecology and biodiversity major, in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.
