Real Urban Cowboy…Really
He got onto his horse and he rode into the city. Hat, boots, bandana, duster, even spurs: this dude’s got it all. No event. He’s just riding through town. A sight seen in Willits, California. Hippies, cowboys, farmers, bikers in a Far West mix. In Mendocino County, a town with 5 stoplights qualifies as a city. Seriously. This is NorCal. Not LA. You know what they say…save a horse. Ride a cowboy!

The Real Hairy Deal: Genuine California Bear
Ursine Megafauna coming down from the hills for a little party perhaps. This one was taken by my elderly mother on her iPhone, from the back patio of friends of hers in the Sierra Foothills, during a dinner party. Pause the cello music, please. And yes, I think I will take more wine. West slope, under 2000 ft elevation. Perhaps he was on his way down to Sacramento to chat up the politicos. Lobby THIS, people. Grrrrrrr!

Early Morning Buds.
A cluster of red buds on some endangered snow flowers in Lassen National Park yesterday. The park ranger told me that they grow up through the snow in early spring, feeding on the roots if trees rather than on chlorophyll.

A hot geyser in the snow
A hot geyser (or gay-sir, as my Icelandic friends insist is the correct pronunciation) in snowy Lassen National Park today. Brown bubbles and sulfuric steam… a good detour.
