| Sierra -- the woo dog, and a real goon god, enjoying a hike near Prescott, AZ. |
 |
| The Chilicat -- deep in thought, as always. |
 |
| Here's the human part of my Tucson tribe (David and Julia on the Mogollon Rim, ca. 2006). |
 |
| David's mom, Louise, often joins us in Tucson and frequently helps us collect lichens and beetles. |
 |
| The sweet silver rig, collected in Hood River, Oregon in 2007 with my remarkable pal Bob. Yay! |
 |
| I'm in love with the sounds that come out of my SET amp and Sansui tuner -- which is strong evidence I'm on a slippery slope to happy audio purgatory. Thanks to Bob for that too. |
 |
| The Carson Cabin is now 108 years old, and is home sweet home for me. My brother and I worked on it together during the summer of 2007; you can see photos here. |
 |
| Yum, Stone brews! I'm often seen in the company of this, but there's no denying the surprisingly frequent need for all the hops in the world. |
 |
| On occasion I make questionable pieces in stained glass. |
 |
| I'm happiest when I'm in the field, and especially I dig the tropics -- thanks mostly to the benevolent influences of Lissy Coley, Tom Kursar, and of course, Lucinda McDade. Here's a happy me collecting fungi in Peru (March 2007). You can see more Peru snapshots here. |
 |
| During the summer of 2007, I had the chance to do some fieldwork in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona, and in the southern Appalachians near Highlands Biological Station. Here's our group after preparing our cultures in Portal, AZ. You can see more photos from our work at the website of François Lutzoni: Arizona, North Carolina. |
 |
| One of the great things about Tucson is our proximity to a variety of open spaces. One of the easiest places to reach is only five miles or so from campus -- the Tucson Mountains. |
 |
| Here, there will someday be a photo of a happy me, cheerfully playing the banjo. Sorry in advance! |
