Sporting a hot pink cover with fun graphics on the front, it gave the impression of being a light-hearted and enjoyable look at astrology. The title also suggested a guide to astrology that was aimed at the general public. I was pretty much spot on with my assumptions.

More Photos, Field Guides, and Early Bloomers
Winter has been resolute in its heavy-handed oppression of our spirit, so it was great glee we raced down the mountain, finding spring waiting for us at about 4,000’, getting ever springier all the way to the coast. Bright yellow American Winter Cress was ubiquitous, a constant companion throughout our descent into spring. And it brought back memories of bird-watching trips to Lake Erie, where Winter Cress covered fields like carpet remnants from the 70’s.

More Photos, Field Guides, and Early Bloomers (Again)
Our escape to Point Reyes was more than putting distance between us and that mountaintop B and B. It was also a chance to see a colony of breeding Elephant Seals and get acquainted with new wildflowers. At Chimney Rock we were able to park and hike. It was like approaching the Emerald City through that field of poppies; all sorts of new wildflowers awaited discovery.

Photos and Field Guides Don't Guarantee Easy I.D.
Photographing wildflowers has taken on more significance since I moved to California. With so many new things to see, I don't want to spend too much time hovering over each and every flower, and I can be a world-class hoverer. Instead, I photograph them and move on, leaving identification for later, when I can sit with a field guide, some photos and perhaps a cup of coffee.

Photos and Field Guides, Part 2
For perhaps the last time this year I impatiently thumbed through a stack of newly processed photos looking for a couple wildflower shots. Armed with my usual stack of field guides, I was hoping to identify a pair of vetch-looking legumes I found along a creek during a mid-October hike.
