Silver Lake

The original lie by DWP about Silver Lake, and geeky stuff like Celcius.
The last thing a blogger wants to do is write about him or herself, but sometimes it becomes necessary to use the “I” pronoun. For instance, last week I wrote about a press release that NSF issued about the bird balls in Ivanhoe. Because the manufacturer, Orange Products, emailed it to me, I thought that meant that they paid for the NSF release. Cat, but not LOLcat. However, in response to my inquiry, Cheryl Luptowski of NSF called me today to clarify that OP did not request or pay for the PR. (I corrected this.) She said they issued it because they have been getting an unusually high number of…

Silver Lake heron photographer found alive and well!
Well, looks like I was right! How very satisfying. After I posted my second blog last week about the missing great blue heron photographer, who posted her photographs publicly on the slk reservoir fence, she wrote in my comments this weekend! Go here to read all by Joan M. Harrison, the photographer. Once again, ye olde heron poster. Basically, she is an artist who really cares about these birds, and doesn’t care at all about slk politics.

Some of Joan’s thoughts: I appreciate your thoughtful…

But, big news. Garcetti is actually in charge of that 6 acres, with only a thin wire fence separating him from his bff, Tom LaBonge, in charge of Ivanhoe; they both got “hundreds of letters,” protesting turning the Meadow into a public…

Silver Lake herons in an alternate universe.
Another Silver Lake, another heron. Photo COPYRIGHT by the talented Michael S. Palmer. Michael took this in St Helens, WA. But I can see snow mountains like this (for a few weeks a year) in Silver Lake, and if they leave the Meadow alone, this could be slk soon, if dwp does what it PROMISED! Because I usually hum along with the sing-song voices in my head, I don’t always pay attention to what the outside world is doing. For instance, I was delighted to find the signs about missing herons along the fence of slk one night, and went back to take pictures a couple of days later. It…
