The view of the Sierra Nevada from El Dorado National Forest. Shot with iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I worked at Wilson Creek and South Fork Silver Creek yesterday. Of course, Sera, AKA The Girl was with me. We were walking last year’s work and noting areas that need some attention. We also walked an area slated for work this year.

The Wilson Creek meadow is lovely. There were a few mosquitoes, but not bad. The weather was also lovely. It was a good day to be outdoors.

The Girl had a blast, running all over the meadow, jumping in the water, rolling in the grass and mud, and then repeating.

It was a good day. I am grateful.

Sleeping on her bed under my worktable. Capture with Fujifilm X-E4 and the Fufinon 27mm f/2.8 wide open, SOOC.

After a long hiatus, I am posting again. The start will be a partial list of remainders for the week.

  • Caffenol is a film developer that uses coffee and ascorbic acid as the active agents for development.
  • I started looking for a new grill. I want something small, fuel efficient, and good. What I found is the Akorn Jr. Then I found a recipe for cooking burgers on a small Kamado.
  • In looking for an appropriate film developer, this list came up in an Internet search.
  • This is another page that describes application of various film developers, their strengths, and their weaknesses.
  • In one of my Internet rambles, I came across the photographer James Ravilious, a Brit who spent a good part of his life documenting rural life in the British countryside.
