The snowy Sierra Buttes from Sierra City
For the past 4.5 months I've been working on the photo editing, design, and layout for a book that the Sierra County Land Trust is publishing this year, called
"The Sierra Buttes and the Lakes Basin
Protecting the Sierra One Place at a Time".
The land trust was awarded a grant from the California Arts Council, via the Upstate California Creative Corps, to produce this book. Their purpose is to create a book that highlights the importance of preserving,
"...high elevation watersheds, forests, and habitat in the Sierra Nevada and the Sierra Buttes/Lakes Basin, which can contribute importantly to climate change mitigation efforts. Chapters will have photos, art, and writings on the Sierra Buttes/Lakes Basin's forest, water, wildlife, peaks meadows, sense of place and history, and recreational assets. Media will include poetry, prose, art, and photography."

The book is now almost totally done, and is being sent to the printers this week! Books will be available in June, 2024. The book will be 8.5"x11" and has 108 pages!!! Below are some of the pages featuring my photography and art work. (I didn't want to feature the 3 other photographers', and 5 other artists' work, as I don't hold their copyrights.)
Needless to say, this book has taken most of my time these past months. So if some of my blogs seem brief and full of typing errors lately, that's why! Hopefully I'll be back on track, full time, by next weekend!
What's happening with the local ferns, mosses, and lichens?
What's happening in the foothills?
Check back next week for the answers to these questions and more.
