Back to posting my cairn a day. This one celebrates the youth of today. This young gal turns two today and is well on her way to becoming a famous builder of cairns. Please note her careful placement of stones to emphasize color and shape. I suspect that she has been studying Andy Goldsworthy. So those who will be out on the trail in 15 or so years keep your eyes peeled for a rash of wonderful cairns.
Rarely does anyone focus on my sartorial splendor but in a nifty little blog piece in the American Scholar, author Priscilla Long highlighted that aspect of me, along with writing evocatively about the geology found in downtown Seattle. Earlier this summer, Priscilla took one of my urban building stone tours and her blog is about that walk. It is always a pleasure to have someone attend one of my walks and get excited about my odd passion for all things rock. Of course, this is my goal, to have people notice something new about something they had taken for granted or had walked by every day, and if they notice my fine fashion sense then all the better.
