Hi Folks,
Up to now this blog has mainly been used for my Bio 120 class, Intro to Biology. However, now that I am on my sabbatical, I'm going to be posting from areas around the world where I am traveling. First is the Galapagos. On July 7 I leave for San Cristobal Island, then on to others in the chain. Take a look at my links for a couple of Galapagos related links. There are internet cafes in
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the town where I will be for the first two weeks. I also hope to be able to upload a few photos at least while I am there.

Shipley Nature Center
Hello Biology Students,
This morning I spent several hours volunteering at the Shipley Nature Center in Huntington Beach shoveling compost. First we shoveled newly composted mulch out of compost bins, then shoveled material to be composted into the now empty bins. Afterwards I wandered around and took a few photos of the plants in bloom I thought you might enjoy. I altered them a bit in photoshop.
