This is Dave Schumaker on Christmas Eve, 2010, at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Yesterday morning we had coffee. This morning, his wife called to let me know that Dave died in his sleep last night.

Glass Menagerie Macro
A rose from my front yard this morning. Focus stacked 16 images from my new macro setup. While playing with textures, I turned the rose blue. Which made me think of the play The Glass Menagerie because of the misinterpretation of pleurosis.
As always, or most of the time, click on the image for a larger view.
Elk Trail at Dry Lagoon
Usually when I go out to Dry Lagoon it’s full of water. This time, I walked a couple hundred yards along an elk trail out into the lagoon. The grasses were spectacular. Nice day.

If you go out in the woods today
You’d better not go alone
It’s lovely out in the woods today
But safer to stay at home

Elkhead Impenetrable Forest
After a long slog through the impenetrable forest, the way to our destination had been washed out. Two of our party were infirm. We had to turn back.
