You may recall that over Easter weekend, a few of us attempted to climb Forest Falls but were stymied by the high water levels. This past weekend a smaller group returned and successfully traversed rock and water until we made it up to the actual falls. Our sure-footedness allowed us to keep our socks dry, although the spray from the falls itself caused a general dampness.

Apparently "owling" is the new planking (not "topping," as Penny Arcade helpfully suggested). Not wanting to neglect our duty, we climbed, perched, and photographed our way to a few owl shots.

Supposedly there is going to be a meteor shower or two this weekend. It has been far too long since my last burning fireballs are streaking across the sky moment, which perhaps is why I've committed myself to driving to a lake and camping out. It isn't the biggest meteor shower of the year, but the locale should be enveloped in the comforting blanket of the night in a way that Loma Linda will never be.
