Just another reason why we love living here. This is the view of Stinson Beach from Mt. Tamalpais, taken while we were out on the bikes today.

Or in this case, Denver. Snow was rolling in -- and lightning with it. If you are flying, you don't want to be in Denver when there is lightning. It is an automatic 30 minute ground hold w/o lightning before crews get back out on the tarmac to move planes.

We made it out. It was a bit rough in the air (the passenger next to me stripped their sweater and turned on the air vent to combat the motion sickness), but it smoothed out eventually.

This captures my mood on the evening I took this picture perfectly. Plastic wrapped, monochrome, and in the ether.

The hotel was fine, but I sure wished I was at home.

How many pillows equals luxury? At Homewood Suites, 6 seems to be the standard.

For me, it just means 5 pillows on the floor to trip over and one on the bed.

I'm in Memphis tonight w/ an early morning tomorrow. Night, night!

Suprisingly, I didn't end up w/ any real interesting photography from Lake San Antonio. We were too early for the flowers (they will be there next month for sure), and we were too busy w/ other stuff to search out the real opportunities.

This morning while we were running along the lake I saw "the picture". There was fog in the oak trees across the lake. The trees are spread out a bit, so there were lots of composition opportunities. Of course, I left my camera behind. We were running w/ a bunch of triathletes so I knew it would be competitive. The last thing I needed was to lug along my G9. Can't let those kids think they've can school you, you know.

Anyway, this shot was from last night after dinner. We hiked up the hill to see if there was anything interseting. Naw. So I took this night sky shot and painted the tree with my headlamp

Here is a picture of the sky from Friday night. No light painting though.

Yesterday afternoon this jet flew over. Just a little reminder of the work to come tomorrow morning.

It looks like a ghost, but like work, it is very real. 500 new shiftworkers this week. I'm sure it will be interesting. Oh yeah, back to Memphis, and I'm not even done in Savannah.
