Marin County just had it's driest year on record. I tend to start holding my breath with this kind of news in anticipation of this continuing dry trend and it's consequences.
80% of California water goes to farming. While there are many conservation efforts made for/by home owners, it seems to be a much more complex matter for farmers. In a sense that's good news, because so much more conservation is possible.
Some little bits of things from my surrounds. The tomatoes got clipped in November and stuck in water. They ripened and taste like summer. And my new love this year- grapefruit peels.
And Oh Happy Day! Presenting the newest member in my creative family of tools. It's the smallest 35mm type digital, a Cannon SL1. It's still in the evaluation stage as we get to know one another, so far it's a joy and hey- it focuses when you want it to. It's a wonder these new cameras don't give birth; they have so many bells and whistles. Luckily you can keep it as simple or go as crazy as you want.
