water water everywhere

Today is Snapshot Day. We go out in little teams and sample the water in creeks and culverts and sloughs up and down the coast from Pacifica to Morro Bay -- three hundred miles of the Central Coast. My team went to Corralitos Creek and Harkins Slough. It was more fun than I can say. It's like hiking and chemistry sets and girl talk all at once -- except the girl talk is about water and cameras and the whole world.

We saw a really strange rainbow slice in a cirrus? cloud on our way back to the checkin (which was at  the back entrance to Natural Bridges S.P.!  More loveliliciousness)

And this is what I look like when I have snagged the precious nutrient sample in the doughty whirlpack bag.



On another front, I had a dream about winged people this morning and it was all full of plotty goodness but I don't know if it is a story yet.  I wrote it all down on the back of the sudoku puzzles I keep in the bedstead.

santa cruz, cwc, snapshot day, water
