That's quite Zen. Wonderful picture.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of bats,...the High Desert Museum south of Bend, Ore. has a nice bat exhibit. Might be worth a stop on your next Newberry/Crater Lake field trip.
ReplyDeleteZen bats... I like that.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely check out the museum (I've seen it, but never stopped), and I'd recommend the Portland, OR Zoo for a spectacular live bat exhibit featuring hundreds of bats of about half-dozen species.
