The Masks of Grace

A zoo bear growling at the photographer.
A farmer toiling in the fields.
A bug.
A freeman worm-rider.

Zoo in the Rain




Friday, June 2 - Nelson and Grace at the zoo, arriving during a rainstorm just as everone else was rushing out of the zoo to escape the rainstorm. A 1/2 hour later the zoo was emptied except for the few who remained, and the rain had stopped.

Riverside, CA

Nelson just returned from a 3-day NIH Grants Seminar in Riverside, California.  He never saw a river, so he's not sure what River the city is beside.  The city would more appropriately be named Roadside, California, since it consisted mainly of large, wide roads filled with traffic.  The Mission Inn is the coolest hotel he has ever stayed in the United States - taking up a full city block and filled with fountains, hidden courtyards, domes, spires, a stone bridge, two chapels, statues, paintings, stained glass, and a crazy kaleidescope of architectural styles.
