Just got around to viewing a set of 78 Flicker photos sent to me by my cuz Rikki Hall in Knoxville (editor of Hellbender Press, a newspaper sponsored by the Foundation for Global Sustainability) of photos of our other cuz Will Blozan (famous arborist and president and co-founder of the Eastern Native Tree Society) and his family (featuring his kids, Cora and Aven) on a spring hike in the Smoky Mountains.

These pix were such a soothing vacation from answering proffessional emails I thought I'd share them with you! Freshen up your coffee, unplug the I-Phone, and follow this link to see all the pix on Flicker in slideshow mode. Ahhhh!

Here's cuz Rikki at the "Writing Green Environmental Journalism Conference" in Knoxville, March 2009:


And here's a YouTube clip of cuz Will climbing the largest white pine in Pennsylvania:

(Mom: so glad you can finally see all these "moving pictures" on the Internets!)
