Bear Gulch Reservoir, Pinnacles, Pacines, CA

I sit at the computer too much— writing haikus every day inspired by classical music and interesting readings. The Stanford Poetry Workshops with Kay Ryan (Winter 2010) inspired several poems with Notes. My friends have tried to get me away from the computers and explore nature more. Here are some hikes from 2010 in the Bay Area, many taken when Stanford Libraries were closed. Here are the photos taken on these excursions. (Peter Y. Chou, WisdomPortal.com)
