What Comes After

O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting

        fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked

thee
,has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy

       beauty     .how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and

buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
        (but
true

to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover

        thou answerest

them only with

            spring)

Is that tree on the road up through Cuyamaca? Haven't seen you in a while - hope you're doing well! Let's get together for lunch again soon. I have been loving Mamas since we went there...

Hey Alice:

No, that tree is in Pamo Valley near Ramona, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in San Diego County. It was hit hard during the Witch Creek Fire last fall (as this tree evidences) but the main riparian area along Temescal Creek survived, so you can still see plenty of oaks and lots of wildlife here. Definitely worth the drive.

Hi there

I just found your blog and must say it is a good read with excellent design. The pics are what make it so good, always love seeing good food pics! I started as a blogger myself and have just started www.ifoods.tv which is a place for us foodies to swap photos, recipes and cooking videos. I just found that when I was blogging that not enough people were seeing my posts and i wanted to make a place where everybody could find all our great content easily! Check it out and let me know what you think! Make sure to keep up the good work here, have just bookmarked you! Cheers!
