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.

Stress Easing Herbs
Since stress is such a part of life now, I think Stress Easing Herbs is a good subject to start with. There are quite a few herbals which ease tension and aid sleep, without the "drugged-up" feeling which over-the-counter and prescription meds are noted for.: Herbs have been a part of my life for most of my 56 years of experience. I have always used herbs as an alternative to traditional medicine whenever possible. Of course, I have needed to use prescription medications as well, and believe we really need to have a cooperative balance between the two areas of expertise.
