CLD certification

My rates for 'free' advice just went up...
More on the CLD (Certified Landscape Designer) program. And for a limited time a link to the press release is on The Landscape Artist Inc. home page. Trying to get a little promo mileage out of this thing.

Nihahi Ridge

An easy scramble / ridgewalk November 2, 2008.
Nihahi Ridge, +-2350m, 17km, +-800m gain. Fairly straight forward ridge-walking ending with a descent down Nihahi creek which was dry but provided a mini canyoneering adventure down the slippery polished rock creek bed. A cool start to the day but an uncharacteristic +16 by the time I got back to the truck.




Incidentally this was a reward to myself for finally finishing my revised CLD portfolio. The final push was a 13 hour day in the office on Saturday to finish the schedules and check everything for errors. Bug eyes!!

CLD deadline

My Certified Landscape Designer (CLD) portfolio ready to go... finally... this thing was a lot of work. A LOT of work. So good feeling to get it done and off to the review commitee and now maybe I can go back to a little shooting in my free time instead of working on plans, photos, specs, and verbage for this project. Oh, yeah... I guess I'll just go back to plans, specs etc for my job now that its starting to get really busy again. Bummer. But I'll ride the high for getting this puppy done for as long as I can.
