Faces of Our Ancestors, Returned ...

most clearly-beauteous-awakening day ever ...
and not a 'Chief' among us!

the Canalino-Chumash (pre-Chumash?), as much Matrifocal as 'Patri-modified' by the Franciscan Missionaries, never had a Chief -- though many a prosperous Wot and an ?Antap did sing ...

Frog, Toad, Salamander, Turtle ...

and uncounted Condors and Buzzards, Owls and Eagles, Hawks and Falcons
(Foxes, Coyotes, Wildcats, Puma ...)

did, joyously, abound ...
(what 'see', say, thee?)

Thank you for this loveliness, Millennium!

We hiked up the Pratt Trail yesterday and encountered about six inches of beautiful soft fresh snow about a mile below the Nordhoff lookout tower. The views from the tower out toward Lake Casitas and the Channel Islands beyond were spectacular. Below us in the Ojai Valley all the ponds, creeks, and Ventura River were shining in the sun like veins and pools of liquid gold. Pine Mountain was stark white and Highway 33 was completely deserted. No cars due to the slides that closed the road. What a day!

you are the loveliness, Anon!
and, wonders, Sheri Ann ...
I walked up the Pratt Trail today with friends, and the air and aromatherapy, and views, and nature was ecstatic, love, life, song, divine! most of the snow was gone, but plenty to eat/drink at the top ... and the most AMAZING stone effigies encountered all along the way ... which as a child forty years ago I never noticed ... could hardly keep up with my mates hiking to the top, for the 250 photos I took ... and we were saluted, with love, by Coyote after we came down and were near the end of the walk ... photos to come soon ...
of Stone and River, and Mountain and Island ...
singing all our relations!
