I ventured to the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula this past weekend, with the terrific team of my girlfriend Nicole and our friend Kira. We sought out cherry blossoms, but, as so often is the case, we ended up with something a little different. Please mouse over for captions.

Oh, Korea, I see you have many more surprises in store for me. Happy Spring, everyone!

Fun is the Sun!

I just came across this gallery of breathtaking new photos of our beloved sun!
Couldn’t help but think of SuperForester Carla’s excellent post “Keep Us Where the Light Is.”

The sun gets my vote for “object most desperately in need of re-deification.” I mean, sun worship is not really a new idea, but it’s a fairly convincing one. The sun IS directly responsible for all life on this planet, and when it “dies” it will take the entire solar system with it. Pretty compelling argument.

You might be convinced after checking out this gallery.

Love!

SuperForester Carla Presents: Keep Us Where The Light Is

Hi Jackson and Fellow SuperForesters!

It’s so nice to be able to share some thoughts with you all. Being my first post, I wanted to make this one about something extra-special. Something that would inspire and uplift. Something that would make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So I decided when it came to warm and fuzzy, it’s pretty hard for anything to beat the sun. So here it is, my first post of hopefully many more.

The Sun, a star so spectacular that it provides our planet with 126 billion horsepower of energy everyday. If the sun were hollow, you could fit approximately 1 million earths inside of it.

If the Sun were any different to how it is now, life on Earth would not exist. It is the perfect size, perfect age, perfect distance, perfect temperature and perfect brightness for life to exist on a planet like Earth. Apart from those mind blowing facts, the sun also provides us with glorious images. It is often that I wish I can hold on to it just a bit longer before it sets. Kinda like these guys.
