I must admit I don't really know much about mushrooms apart from the ones I buy from the supermarket. I went on the hunt for them and found them quite fascinating. I'm not sure which ones are edible or

I don't even know where to begin, my weekend trip (Friday through Saturday) was really wonderful. I have been so busy these past couple of weeks with school full-time (well, one credit short of full-time,

I have always been a big proponent of the preservation of the past.Paintings, movies, video games, pretty much everything that can possibly be preserved in one form or another for future generations I

I didn't want to miss another #featheredfriday, so even though I am in Sacramento and haven't had any birding time lately, I will at least be sharing some photos that I haven't posted yet... Corvus
