Still labouring away at Medieval Music videos,
break for
University of California,
Davis,
again,
and,
once more,
2 walks related to the Pony Express Trail --
the first from the junction of Campbell and Garrod,
east on the latter to
Middle Parking --
the second,
a geometrical figure,
southwest through the
UC Davis
Arboretum,
along the north shore of
the artificially sustained
former-main-channel of
Putah Creek,
now on life support
since dam(n)ed at
both ends locally,
yet still
much beauty.
Next leg north past
a
Chinese
dawn
redwood,
Nature's Gallery Court,
the Teaching Nursery, and
Veterinary Hospital.
The
final
stint
east
over
open
space
has
its
charms,
too...
on
the
95th day of summer,
high up 3 to
102
(tying with May 26 and
June 3-4 as
2nd highest of year,
o'er-topped only by
May 27's
104
(with Dixon at 97 and
Davis 103).
