This gallery is a work in progress. These archived images are a diverse collection of photographs that I have taken in a variety of locations. I keep some of these images in this gallery for my naturalist interests. The other images are kept here until I work on them and and post them in appropriate galleries. None of the photos in this gallery are available for purchase while in the Archived section.

The cooked mush was then eaten immediately or prepared into flat bread. Photographed on the 2.2 mile (round trip) Eagle Rock Nature Trail, El Chorro Regional Park, San Luis Obispo County, California.
