Hi Shindo, Thanks. These are pictures from Yokoji-Zen Mountain Center, (http://www.zmc.org/) which is located in Southern California in the mountains south of Palm Springs. The abbot, Tenshin Fletcher Roshi, is a dharma brother of my teacher, Genpo Roshi. I've been doing weekend and week-long retreats there for about a year. It's only a few hours from my house, so I'm able to get there easier than Salt Lake City. But I still head up to Utah at least twice a year. And I'll be doing a workshop with Genpo Roshi in Seattle in March.

As for the Frogs, we continue to sit together and recently acquired our own space to sit in. It's quite wonderful. I'm especially enjoying our ability to sit in the mornings together now Tuesdays & Thursdays. If you're ever back in Phoenix look us up. http://sittingfrogsangha.org/ or at the very least drop me a line and we'll meet for "coffee".
