I always thought nuts got stored, not used for storing. I'm highly confused and will need to consult squirrels on this. You can still count in pixels with a leaf sensor? Chlorophyll? Converted sunlight issues? Nuts used as storage? I always thought nuts got stored, not used for storing. I’m highly confused and will need to consult squirrels on this.

The leaf transfers the images into some storage nuts. Currently running at 12pixels, but at least it is full frame! :) I'm hoping to get some better leaves in the near future to get me up to 20pixels, but those leaves aint cheap. Ahhh... the price of obsession. I still haven't figured out how to download the pictures from the nuts though.... twigs and a light-sensitive type of leaf.

Self assembly is difficult for sure! :P Hey Tomob, is your CCD made out of twigs and berries or something? Self assembly is difficult for sure! :P

Good to see you here. Thanks for the correct name on the cactus. I've shot hedgehogs before too, and I didn't think I was right. Way too bright. They were stunning! Found a few along the cliffs in the Promised Land. The Promised Land is an amazing climbing area near Chino Valley. It's a drive way out into the middle of nowhere. You need a 4 wheel drive to get in, as the Forest Service road is marginal at best. It's a well kept secret that local climbers know about, and a few folks from around. But it's hard to find, hard to get to, but well worth it. And it is LOADED with petroglyphs! Granny J! Good to see you here. Thanks for the correct name on the cactus.

You might be amazed how hard it is to make your own CCD!! One day I will move up to a real G9 and stop copying other people's pics into my Flickr stream. :) Sadira - I'm in. You've got email! I've got a few places in mind, but am open to suggestions if you have somewhere in particular that you wanted to go. Definitely a digital pin-hole.

And where the hell is Promised Land??? I thought I knew most of the petroglyph places hereabouts, but you've got me puzzled. Sounds like great fun. Your claret cup cactus are gorgeous!

You are responsible for your activities, and for the people you meet via the Airstream Chronicles. A prime example would be hiking with a guy claiming his cardboard pinhole camera is in fact a Canon G9 (which anyone with a clue would want). :) Just pick a hike that won't make me say, "Awwww, man, I wanted to go there......." :( Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles is not responsible for the hiking dates scheduled here.

That was a nice way to say: Sadira continued down the mountain sliding along on her tushie because she is so nervous about heights, standing up while going down is just too much added height for her to handle (plus? There was SO much loose rock...case in point...the bloody ankle and squarshed toes...thank goodness I was wearing socks!!) I'm glad we formulated the plan for a wonderful day! I had so much fun...and I enjoyed going deeper into the canyon (I was feeling like I could have gone even further) and hopping up to the cave as well. It was great to see 3 sets of climbers in there as well. The weather is so wonderful, it's getting to be some perfect temperatures around here. You guys DID miss out Tom...but wait...your dance card is full for Saturday Rich? Mine isn't...I'd be up for going out!! (Sorry Rich...we're using your blog to make hiking dates...) ;) “Sadira continued to navigate downward, and Bert waited above.”

That makes all the difference. Sorry to say, but my dance card is already full on Saturday. But is it a digital pinhole camera??? That makes all the difference.

I actually downgraded to a home-made pinhole camera and haven't told anybody yet. Do you think they will notice? We actually had a breakfast with some old friends today as well, so our schedule was all sorts of messed up for coming out to play. Another time... Speaking of which - I'll be hiking with dogs (sans DaNece) saturday afternoon if you guys would care to join. :) Well, I’ve been caught.

You could have hiked, and done yard work afterward. Of course, returning you'd be tired, so the yard work would be replaced by a nap. And really, who doesn't like naps? See, that's all good logic sir....... We sure would liked to have seen your new G9 in action. Hmmmm.....I'm beginning to wonder if the G9 is real, or mythical. Ah, you've only got a G9 cardboard cutout, don't you???? Tombo, you missed out. You could have hiked, and done yard work afterward.
