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.

So that was a bit more than a month. But now it is a new year, and I'll try again to post a bit more frequently. Here is a shot from Tacoma Washington, on our way to the Bay Area for AGU and vacation, before we went to Maui for vacation.

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?

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.
lichenunfurled
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.
