saw blade santa clara

Can you see the saw blade? horribly rusty, but the blades are still sharp. So what, was such a dangerous thing like this doing along a nice neighborhood? Gone and safe now!

Volunteer Stewards of Humanity

Although we are not on here posting everything we do, We have been enjoying our travels, meeting people and caring about the universe around us.

It is not that we want to pick up litter, I really dont want to see it, and if we care enough to do something, natural beauty is restored!

I personally, am compelled and seem to just happen to notice things like broken glass and rusty nails laying about. If we can do something to make life better, go for it!

If it's obvious, or dangerous, pick it up!

6-21-09 matadero creek palo alto wetlands

We had a beautiful day today, Sunday June 21 Happy Fathers day!

To bad there was litter, But we took out alot, four small bags, and the large CALTRANS bag I am glad we got that junk out of there, including some abandoned fishing gear that hooked my finger!

We got to see some kids enjoying the area after we were done. Thank you Bailey and Mikey!

The area does need some more attention, next time we need to bring the longer picker sticks.

6-6-09 Tuolumne River Trust paddle to the sea event S.F.

We had a beautiful day along waterfront park in San Francisco, celebrating the end of the long journey down the Tuolumne River to the bay. Bringing attention to the main sourse of our drinking water and tap, along the peninsula. It was educational and entertaining. Among the speakers was Palo Alto Mayor Peter Drekmeier, and later an out of work salmon boat captain.

John and I (Rev. William) walked along the water front and around the fort areas. We did pick up some litter, but we will have to return with our task force and supplies, litter sticks and bags, to finish the job around the old 1863 Battery. ( big gun emplacement )

We blessed the water, we blessed the food, and we blessed the music! It was a great day, thank you everyone involved!

I was introduced to Jennifer Clary, water policy analyst, with Clean Water Action. I appreciate the work they are doing to ensure we have safe, clean water.

I took some pictures, as this was the clearest day I can remember to see all the landmarks.
