Infrared Photography - Tree canopies at the lookout

27 Aug 2019 2 minute read 4 comments Solominer

We hiked from the trailhead for about an hour uphill and then as we reached one of the mountain tops we could see sky again. Usually we are deep in the tree canopy, I dont even think airplanes flying over know of us down in the tree lines.      Came...

I really enjoy the smell of Sage and Salvia, I found a seller on ebay that had cuttings for sale in California. The cuttings were from a Salvia Gregii plant, and should make some nice red flowers along with a great smell. The package showed up almos...
