Wanderings
As promised, some pictures from my long weekend in the desert…
I hiked for miles, gathered pounds of plant matter, napped on rocks, hung out with trees, hung out with friends, scratched up knees, drank cider sat around a fire pit watching the dark desert night sky, and sat outside watching the moon before dawn with hot coffee and warm blankets. Some snaps from along the way: Manzanita trees, spring blossoms, my favourite tree (pinus quadrifolia), meyer lemon blossoms, ocotillo, kitten. More posts coming later this week, but in the meantime, here are some links I’ve been inspired by lately:

John Steinbeck on falling in love? Must click. I could swear that I just read a brief food-related passage by him in one of my food writing books.
stop it! you’re making me miss LA! i remember those days of escape to the mountains, ocean, desert and other wild places that others rarely frequented. hauntingly beautiful. the unique smells (i couldn’t stand the desert’s smell). feeling like you’re the only one for miles and miles….
