“You help me look—join in the search!”

Here’s a pic of Gpa Tom presenting research at the CalPaleo convention at Sierra College earlier this month. His presentation: “Ichnofossil occurrences and distribution within the lower Cambrian.”

If only the presentation had been about distribution within the higher Cambrian, I’d have been all over it.

Autumn at Filoli Festival from Mike C on Vimeo.

This is a video from an Autumn at Filoli Festival we went to last month with Gpa Tom and Auntie Laura. From the Filoli site:

Join us Saturday, October 3 for our annual family-friendly Autumn at Filoli Festival. During this special seasonal event—a favorite of many—discover and savor one-of-a-kind pears, apples and grapes from Filoli’s heirloom orchards.

A variety of activities is planned with children and families in mind. This year we’ve expanded “Family Fun Land,” an area where supervised children’s outdoor games and activities will take place. Young guests also will have the chance to make Halloween crafts and have their faces painted.

Music:
