Found my old 2013 Canon EOS-M and my cheap 50mm lens. I think I want to start using this, almost vintage, but awesome camera again.

Shannon Osaka: California city approves industrial park next to one of Earth’s oldest trees: After months of deliberation, the city of #Jurupa Valley approved a development next to an oak tree that is at least 13,000 years old.

"One of the world’s oldest living organisms — which once sprouted next to giant ground sloths and other prehistoric creatures — will soon sit 550 feet from industrial buildings.

After months of debate that thrust the small city of Jurupa Valley, Calif., into the national spotlight, the city council approved a plan on Thursday night to build a development next to the Jurupa Oak, an ancient tree that has survived since the last ice age. The vote was 3-2."

Save the Jurupa oak! The Jurupa oak is one of the oldest living things on the planet. It is roughly 14000 years old and developers have their sights on its area. Photos are of my visit to the elder Jurupa oak. It is truly humbling to be in communion with this plant. It has seen so much and can tell us so much more.
