“Subalpine Meadow, Evening Light” — A ridge rises above a subalpine meadow and forest, Yosemite.
This is another “quiet” photograph — no brilliant colors, not really an iconic location. It simply captures, I hope, something of the feeling of being in the High Sierra as the day winds down, the light warms as sunset approaches, and begin to stretch across the landscape. It is a beautiful time of day — everything slows down, it gets quieter as people go to camp for dinner.

Dear friends,
Yesterday's was about the miracle of #geology and deep time. A dynamic planet recycling and transforming everything over billions of years. We are the #earth every bit and every one of us. This is the reality of our timeless interconnectedness to each other.

“[The author has] already discussed ancient water management systems, such as the qanats in Persia and other Eastern countries. In Europe, there are the acequias of the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia, Spain.
The hand-dug channels date back over 1,000 years to the Moorish era. Networks of canals, aqueducts and cisterns were engineered to capture and transport snowmelt, turning this natural resource into a sustainable water supply for agriculture. The high-altitude ditches had openings, allowing water to infiltrate into fractures and faults, replenishing the aquifer, and to irrigate the lower levels of the slopes.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗮𝘀?
✅ Gravity-fed irrigation that supported terraced farms and local biodiversity.
✅ Designed to distribute water slowly and equitably, even during dry summers.
✅ Stretching over thousands of kilometres, these systems fell into disuse in the 1980s but are now part of restoration efforts led by the MEMOLA Project (Universidad de Granada).
With climate change and more intense droughts, the Acequias could provide an ancient solution to the modern-day water crisis…”

“How do we get from dry, degraded, and dewatered to lush, wet meadows that feed our precious rivers and support fish and wildlife? We have to get creative.
[Their] restoration work with partners in Ackerson Meadow and Faith Valley Meadow show two very distinct approaches to achieving amazing results.
[Their] new short film “Restoring Mountain Meadows” dives into our work to restore California’s iconic meadows! We’ll take you uphill into the Sierra Nevada and deep into the restoration work that is healing one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth…”

Hype for the Future 135G: State of California Explained At-Large
Introduction The State of California is located along the West Coast of the United States of America and is the most populous state in the nation though containing a smaller land area than the States of Alaska and Texas. By population density, the state is toward the higher end, albeit not nearly as densely populated overall as the State of New Jersey or even the Southern New England states. Other states with higher densities than California include Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and […] -
Snowy Kingdom
Ever since I got my first photo of an American Pika, I've wanted to photograph one in the snow. Snow defines their lives, driving them to spend the summer gathering hay to feed on in the snowy season, and providing a thick blanket to shelter and insulate their talus homes during the winter. Unfortunately, their habitats are very challenging to access during the winter. Once there's enough snow, the roads close for the season, and then only mountaineers can access their habitat. After a storm […] -
