Is It Dead Yet?

Killing time while the first batch of yellow curry chicken drumsticks is wokking. That'll be my contribution to the Peace Corps alumni potluck Saturday at Lafeyette reservoir.

Also happening in the background is some major uploading of photos from Shoreline Park taken during the past two weeks. Much Critter Goodness there. There's a hawk perched at the top of a tree, pelican group feeding madness, very close-ups of a squirrel, a screaming seagull, Great Blue Heron in a swamp, assorted waterfowl, the obligatory burrowing owl photo and a series of photos of a pair of crows who were pulling up the freshly-placed sod to get the insect goodness underneath.

Also uploading are the shots I took on my bike trip from Oakville to St. Helena up in Napa Valley.








As with all my photos, you can find them here in my gallery pages

Great pictures. Puts me in the mood to go on a road trip this weekend.

I completely forgot that I took this one photo especially with you in mind. It was the first Sign I saw coming into downtown St. Helena:

Now I might stay home.

Though it could be named after the great poet.

I don't think so. The first cross-street for Pope is Church, and there are no streets named for poets.

Read it and weep, my friend.

Your sacked-out kitties perfectly embody what I'd like to be doing this morning. And your squirrel shows my current mood. ;)

And boy, I bet the sod-layers are going to be annoyed at those industrious crows!
