my new camera came in the mail today!! so beautiful!! slightly larger than i expected, but after playing with it i'm really happy with the size and handle. it's really light and i can already day dream of foraging through tropical forests with this thing. doing test shots tomorrow!



i'm moved by mushrooms lately, and with a little bit more research i'm learning about the mushroom momentum out here. there is a mycology society that does monthly forages. very excited about that. i plan on visiting far west fungi's farm sometime this week. i watched a farm tour of far west fungi on youtube, and it shattered my expectations of backyard forests filled with logs and logs of oyster and shiitakes. the farm is actually made up of plastic bags filled with redwood shavings, saw dust, and spores in dark barns, but i think it'll be worth investigating either way.

the weeks have felt very busy. i'm happy. i'm working on photography; i'm saving money; and i have really great people in my life.

looking forward to:
an opinel knife
patagonia retro-x fleece
thai reference books
pine flat weekend!
