Ah, the backyard. Amazing (though not surprising) to see the grasses on Devil’s Peak so tawny in February. And baby blue eyes always console and give me hope.

Star lillies all over OCRd too! Now that the Weekly has outed you as the XS blogger (we knew!) it’s good to find you posting more. I’d also heard that Xasauan was an old word for Esalen? It’d be fun to take a hike with you some time.
Yachida!

Nice photos, and I love the background you give on all your stories. Excellent work. I, too, like the original plant names…

For the record: I completely refuse to accept re-classifications of plants I took the trouble to learn in the first place. That is just WRONG! (;>))

Lovely photos and descriptions. Keep it up. (And if you’re ever in Berkeley, stop by our community garden for the wildflowers and a small sampling of native trees.)

Another photo permission request from http://xasauantoday.com/2011/10/12/the-fate-of-the-oaks/ :

I am working on “illustrating” a children’s book for a class project. The author is a third grade science teacher who wants to use the book to explain the how the oak is a giver of life, and that fire is not a bad thing. Beyond our use for our classes he have no immediate plans of publishing the book—if that changes we’ll contact you again. For the meantime, given your blessing, we would like to use any or all of the following pictures in the series #8,9,11,12,13,14.

Thank you

Yes…beautiful, important, stirring account. (Wish I hadn’t forgotten about this work-outing myself…)

Thanks to all for this good work. And thanks, XT, for the important recording of this work on an historically public trail.

What a great story, and your photos always say so much. Thanks for all your hard work, and living to tell about it!
