Slide Show: Flame azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum). This is for Mason, until you see them for yourself.

This slide posed a real test of memory. I know the location with certainty: this was taken on the Cascades Trail along Little Stony Creek in Giles County, Virginia. I know the date: it’s imprinted on the slide, June 1978. I know my hiking partner that day was my neighbor, but I can’t recall his name at all. I am certain, too, that we did not (would not!) have picked those flowers merely for a photograph. I can only guess some other hiker picked and discarded them on the trail.

Slide Show: A shovel-full of the sulfide system. At White Marsh, on the bank of the York River, in Gloucester County, Virginia, August 1991. This is actually a work slide, from a project investigating submarine groundwater discharge into the greater Chesapeake Bay estuary. How it landed in my personal slide collection is today’s little mystery. I am fascinated by the black zone of marine sands, so finding this slide was like running into an old friend.
