These are spectacular! Very fitting to see the tradition carried on, and on John Muir's birthday too. Muir was a prolific journal-writer, and some of them are full of iconic and timeless quotes about nature and the Sierra Nevada mountains, as well as drawings and random observations very similar to these. "My First Summer in the Sierra" is of particular significance and can be found in published form. You can read ("read" is used liberally here—the cursive is difficult) or just look at nearly all of them here: http://digitalcollections.pacific.edu/cdm/search/collection/muirjournals http://digitalcollections.pacific.edu/cdm/search/collection/... This modern-day version brings delight to my soul in this trying week. I miss these, my mountains, my home. Thank you for posting this.
