Ready to leap...

I like the way this shot captures so much of Sophie's personality. Playful, yet pensive. A kitten, yet a mature cat.

Artsy, distorted, matted reflection ...

Grey day in SF, getting late, looking around the house for something different to shoot. I took a couple of pictures that had some reflection in them, and then started looking around the house even more as a meme.

This shot is actually on the top of our covered cat box. The reflection is of the porch light through the window above the door.

I like the subtle color and light levels of distortion of the reflected picture.

I think this would be a good meme...

My idea is photos showing where you were at that moment -- you know, pictures showing GPS lat and long. Now, you can plug in my lat and long and see exactly where I was when I took the picture.

Cheating, but cool...

OK, this picture was not taken today. In fact, this picture was SO not taken today, that it may be the oldest picture I've ever had.

This picture is of Nancy Sayers McPherson and her husband Samuel McPherson -- aka, my Great Great Grandparents. My mom passed this picture on to me today -- it was one that she recieved from a cousin who is working on the family genealogy.

There are a bunch of other pics on the the flickr page

Oh yeah, just to make sure that I'm still posting a pic a day on they day I took the pic ...



The coastal range mountains from a friends house in Pacifica.

Ziggy gettin' biggy!...

Our little boy is starting to get SO BIG! He looked up at just the right time, and I snapped the lucky shot.

A note on the seal: I didn't see him today, but that's because I didn't get close to the bay. One of the guys that used to work for me said that he saw the seal leave the mud flat at high tide, so it may not be as bad as we thought. I'll look in the morning and let everyone know.

A pacific harbor seal in trouble?...

This guy has been sitting on a mud flat outside out office (just west of the Oyster Point Marina) for 2 days now. He'll raise his head from time to time, but he hasn't moved from the spot, so I think he may be in distress.

I called the Marine Mammal Center's Stranded Marine Mammal hotline (415-289-SEAL) to see if they could come down and take a look at it. I hope he's ok.

Funky stand of trees...

I love the randomness of this stand. It's random at multiple levels, almost fractal-like. The branches have random patterns, the needles have random patterns on the branches, etc.

Looking over the last 85 pictures I've noticed that I do a lot of landscapes. While I can't promise, I am going to try to take more action, portrait, and artsy stuff.
