    Nepal Trip

    Not that it's a deal breaker, but keep in mind the political climate in Nepal these days. There is a Maoist led general strike going on now which reporters on the ground in Nepal believe could force a resignation of the Prime Minister and a change of government in Nepal in a few weeks...

    Wood Anemone. I found a patch of them this morning in a walk around the woods behind my house. Here are some shots from my walk: Wood Anemone Jack in the Pulpit Starflowers (before the star-burst) I believe this to be the Wooly Blue Violet: Not a flower but interesting all the same...

    Nice idea. Waterfalls are like campfires and fireplaces; I can sit and watch them for hours. I spent a few hours at Diana's Baths last April and came away with a few nice shots. I could not help but notice a strong similarity in one of my shots to yours. Silver Cascade Cloudland Falls...

    Go Bode!

    Not quite. As reported on Yahoo: Mancuso was taken to the top of the mountain after her aborted run and had to wait for 13 more skiers before she could make her first official slalom. By then, conditions had deteriorated on the mountain, with snow and fog making the course much more...
