Daily Photo
October 10, 2006 to present
For those who have been following my website, you know that this isn't exactly a
daily photo blog, but I do try to post fairly regularly. For the occasion of my 200th daily picture posting, I changed the layout of the page a bit. Now only the most recent pictures will be here and the rest will be on an
archive page. Enjoy, and feel free to
send comments.
Echinacea at sunset in our garden.
A long exposure on the shore of Lake Tahoe. Would be better with some photoshop work...
Just north of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, there is a car-to-rail lot with lots of new cars.
Map. It is also close to the
Navy's mothballed fleet. What is
this tugboat doing to those ships Sept 24, 2009?
Fox by Luman. I think the white glasses and words (?) were a later addition.
A self portrait of sorts?
Graffiti near the Amtrak station in Berkeley.
An oddly strange painting of food on a food cart in Spenger's parking lot.
Spenger's in Berkeley.
"Nearest Neighbor" An interpolation of ablation errors on the Taylor Glacier. I like the different little alien faces that you can imagine in the data. My current desktop background.
The guts of a Black and Decker one-cup coffee maker. The wiring in the upper right corner burned out. It is (was) a pretty clever little machine.
Yesterday I saw a hummingbird drinking from a crazy spiky plant. And then I took a picture of it. And then I fiddled with the settings on my camera. And then it was gone.
ArcAttack played the Star-Spangled banner on their Tesla coils at the Maker Faire. It was awesome - much more impressive in person than it is on
YouTube.
A chandelier at the Maker Faire.
Spiky.
Spiral.
Another flower from Havey Canyon.
A nice red flower on the Havey Canyon Trail. It seems that I have been taking a lot of flower pictures lately. That is slightly disturbing. I need to get up to the mountains.
A thistle on the Havey Canyon Trail.
Little purple flowers growing on the hillside below our house.
Icelandic poppies growing in our garden.
The Golden Gate bridge and a plane.
A great maroon orchid from Trader Joe's.
Flower-filled field on the slopes of Mount Diablo.
These delicate flowers were hiding under some chapparal on the north side of Mount Diablo. There wasn't much light, so the picture isn't as sharp as I'd like, but it is still pretty.
I don't think I've seen lichen that is unfurled quite like this before. The brown (or green) color is usually wrapped up in the gray. Also in the chapparal on the north side of Mt. Diablo.
Cool shape, isn't it? On the north side of Mount Diablo near the summit.
