Salmon season has been cut short this year due to low numbers coming out of the trouble Klamaath River. The sun painted a promise on the horizon. Six hours later - no fish in the box. And it's raining again.

the vernal equinox arrived in a celebratory wet burst. a flash of blue punctuated the otherwise solid white gray wall pushing across Hidden Valley. through rain streaked glass i watched this jay work the seed. he had no regard for the down pour.

Last Chance Canyon - Mojave desert, California

2006-01-25T12:51:00.000-08:00

resistant volcanic breccia, tuffaceous sandstones, sedimentary material, ash ejecta. rivers and streams cut through the strata carving a dramatic profile. as you hike along the floor the canyon walls vary from shades of gray, to red, black and buff white. embedded in the walls and buried throughout the washes are fossil remains of three-toed browsing horses, a species of short-legged camel, wolverine, shrew, and saber tooth cats.

Mojave Desert

ancient lava flows, basalt, volcanic tuff - the mineral tales of a vibrant sea bed dormant for the past 200 million years. jackrabbits bust from the cover of saltbrush, coyotes sing at dusk and dawn, quail and chukkar seek cover in the brittle grasses, and nervous road runners whip across the flats.

the ocean gentles itself as it rolls slowly into the slough. the shallows are full of crab and anchovy, the shores with white crane and gull. i walked four miles through the winding estuary paths without encountering another human.
