Got an earthquake alert at 8:07 this morning. Large at M5.9, but did not feel it. Looks like South Lake Tahoe region.

The Santa Clara Valley is still at 238% of normal for the rain year, which is 38% of the annual total of 13.5 inches.
We received a lot initially, but have had nothing for several weeks. Forecasters are optimistic about the near future, but none of the apps are showing it.

Went back to a local wildlife viewing area and found these two cohabitating on the same island in a perk pond. We saw them a week ago. Today my wife wanted to go back and ordered me to bring the longest lens I own.

Went to see The Art of Manga at the De Young Museum this afternoon. Fascinating stuff! Highly recommended. Long, lots of small print so bring your reading glasses.
Took our son, his son, and two granddaughters who have been fascinated by it.

That happens more than people think. We were on a nature walk some years ago and a coyote was in dire straits. Apparently it knew the ranger and didn't run away when she approached. The quills were extracted and it trotted away. Thoughts of Mark Twain "Roughing It" ch7 were running thru my head.

I often wonder what this imbecile is going to do once Trump leaves office. I hope she winds up destitute and begging her crucifix for food.

Crap! This is what a dirty sensor looks like. Fortunately, a quick couple of puffs with a rocket blower and they went away.
Otherwise, this would severely disrupt and ruin any image taken today.

Was taking macro shots of a plumago flowers. Isolated this one and didn't notice the bug in the upper left until I cropped and blew this image up.
I think it's kind of cool. Looks like some kind of extraterrestrial vegetation drawing.

I have been using freetaxusa (dot) com for a while now. Nothing has changed except state filing charge. Up $2 from when I began to use it.

The one on the top I carry all the time. The ubiquitous Swiss Army Knife called The Executive. No longer available, it's one of the only one's with a citrus peeler.
Middle is Navy Elec
Bottom is called Laguiole (la yool'), made in France. Look at a web site for them. Extraordinary craftsmanship.

2 1/2 inches of rain is really good for a storm this time of year.
