	Blanche Trask by Steve Junak 1
		She was a resident of Avalon on Santa Catalina Island in Los Angeles County, California from 1895 to 1915.
		I also learned that she collected, endemic island land snails, rocks, minerals, and bird eggs (such as an Osprey egg on San Nicolas) which is very significant to document for the recovery of the Osprey to that beautiful island.
		Blanche Trask also appreciated the desert landscape of the southwest, as we can see from her letters and essays, and Santa Barbara certainly presents itself as a desert-like landscape rising from the sea, particularly in light of the lichens that are there.
