This is my favorite part of Illumination at Morton Arboretum.
Illumination at Morton Arboretum, 2024
December 21, 2024
Two hours of Illumination at Morton Arboretum in ten minutes, minus Treemagination. That’s my favorite and will be a separate video.
(The long gap without music at Ornament Hill is due to a copyright issue with the music.)
“Without ever hearing a lion roar at night”
Catching up on old Sierra magazines. From an unnamed Maasai man in the September/October 2016 issue:
These young Maasai children — they grow up now without ever hearing a lion roar at night. They don’t even know what a lion sounds like. Things are changing for us. Once, we Maasai were lions. Tomorrow, we might only be ants.
Caroling Campfire at Messenger Woods Nature Preserve, 2024
First, the skies were spectacular on the way there going west on i-80.
I love Caroling Campfire, with Christmas songs, trivia, charades, and a candy cane hunt (for the children). I enjoyed it more than it looks. No snow, however.
Oh, and s’mores. S’MORES. Mmmm.
