Will’s Similiblog

July 25, 2008 5:08 pm - Just back today from a month teaching/hiking in Central Europe - Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenja & Austria. Great trip - will post photos, including many of wildflowers, shortly in my web gallery.

June 8, 2008 11:24 pm - Another great hike on the Wahkeena Falls trail today, on up to Devil's Rest. 7.5 miles, Rosie did nearly 3 times that running ahead & back again the whole way. Added some pics to the Columbia River Gorge wildflowers album on my Gallery site (http://gallery.similibus.org), along with some pics of the dogs to the My Dogs album on same.

June 5, 2008 4:39 pm - I've added a new album to my gallery at http://gallery.similibus.org - for Slovenian Alpine Wildflowers. Pics taken on my hikes in the Bohinj region of Slovenja, in the Julian Alps. ~60 pics up there now, and look for more (now with camera with better macro function), during & following my visit in July.

May 29, 2008 10:07 pm - Just started a photo gallery, in a gallery2 installation - at: http://gallery.similibus.org. Linked here in the "my other sites" menu. With albums for Wildflowers (cascades alpine, cascades woodland, columbia river gorge), travel/hiking, and dogs.

May 25, 2008 11:54 am - Just installed the development version of the AsideShop WP plugin - permits option to parse post templates on Archives pages, as well as on Frontpage view. Very nice! Found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/asideshop/download/ (development version, upgraded from 1.03).

May 18, 2008 12:12 am - Started a new photo gallery (see the Pages menu), of woodland & subalpine wildflowers of the Cascades - in addition to the existing ones for the Columbia River Gorge & Cascades Alpine Meadows. I'll populate these with photos as I accumulate these on my hikes, as a dated photojournal. Sadly I'll be missing the month of July in Oregon this year (tho not so sadly, I'll be spending it in Slovakia, the Czech Republic & Slovenja ...).

May 17, 2008 7:46 pm - Great hike on the Salmon River trail (near Zigzag) today - nice cool air washing down along the stream, nice to get out of the 90+ degrees in town. Molly was as always the best traildog ever, Rosie remained rambunctious after 5 miles, most of it off-leash. Some good wildflower pics - will post soon.

May 6, 2008 10:04 am - added to the Columbia Gorge Wildflowers gallery, Viola glabella (stream violet), Mahonia nervosa (dwarf Oregon grape), Adiantum pedatum (maidenhair fern), and some Trillium ovatum transitioning from white to pink phase

May 4, 2008 6:56 pm - Took Molly & Rosie on a 6.5 mile hike in Forest Park today - Rosie started to lag a bit toward the end. A great hiker! Trilliums were a bit past, a lot turning red. Lots of yellow violets (Viola glabella), & the small Oregon Grape (Mahonia nervosa) is in bloom.

April 29, 2008 11:58 pm - upgraded to WP 2.5.1
