Hmmmmm, Happy 300th Blogday. (MB) Ok, maybe you think the lettuce with radish garnish smacks of desperation. Maybe not. Think "Let Us continue seeking images that have a Little Bite!"
My very favorite tree now has leafed out (MB) See Day 281 for its prior post Also visiting the "tree" area was this ball of feathers first mistaken for a stuffed animal. Oh, no, this sweet parrot is alive and cute!
Goat Guy has Sheep in his fold of animals that keep Oakland safe from Fire (KB)
Day 292 Fire Hydrant in front of Meadowlark Dairy (MB) Remember the mural on the dairy wall in July 2nd's post? This is at the corner in front of the dairy.
Animal House kitchen gadgets found at OSH (MB) These are hilarious...Monkey peeler,Bluebird corkscrew, Whale ice cream spade, Woodpecker scissors, Shark paring knife, Piranha pizza cutter. Read about them: <http://www.kitchenkapers.com/animalhouse-gadgets.html>
An attempt to keep with MB's caliber of photos (KB)
Gives a whole new meaning to the words "stone-faced" (MB) Ok, help me out here...these were found in a plant nursery. Do you plant them in the shrubs so they'll peek out or perhaps speak out? Can you wire them for sound and have them ask "Who are you?" or "What are you selling?" Or do you put a surveillance camera in one eye and have video monitoring of your front door?
Day 287 And, the new kid on the block (MB) This is Thistle Sage, another California Native plant. Read about it: < http://www.anniesannuals.com/ > Cal Natives can be found at Cal Native Plant Society sales or nurseries like Annie's Annuals in Richmond. Beautiful place to visit.
Hummingbird Sage beginning to blossom (MB) This is pretty even if the Hummingbirds don't find it! And it's nice to have some California Native plants in the yard.
Can you believe the view from these Opening Day seats! (KB) McCovey Cove, Train, Pregame festivities. OK, so, all work, no play and all of that- but when you're gonna play, make it worth it!
Can't identify them, but someone's heading north. Maybe to Mono Lake? (MB) Know it isn't part of the daily commuters to the transfer station, those keep to a lower altitude and a casual flock configuration. These are much higher and organized in the typical "V" migration pattern.
Had dinner with friend Ellie and Photographer Sam Abell (MB) Read about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Abell Meeting him equates to winning the lottery. Wonderful day listening to him speak of his many experiences as a photographer.
