Sheesh– I see I haven’t posted since May. Well, I haven’t died.
Its just that I bought a house!
Yes, news reports to the contrary, the housing market hasn’t
collapsed completely. In fact, those of us who’ve been sitting
on the sidelines during the bubble are now jumping in 
Anyway, between hanging sheetrock, clearing brush, & painting, I
just haven’t had time to post as much as I’d like.
This is a Redwood grove on the property:

The San Lorenzo Valley’s been socked in with fog & even a little drizzle the past few mornings. It was getting really irritating for me (I like it warm & sunny), but at least I drive out of it on the way into work. I took this shot from Saratoga Gap yesterday:

I love rainy nights; they’re good for sleeping, and they make for great views on the drive into work the next morning:

Monday was one of those days where the weather changed four or five times on the way into work. It was overcast at the house when I left, but I broke out of the clouds in the valley into sunshine partway up Highway 9. This is a shot looking back over the San Lorenzo Valley. It’s not great, but you can see the cloud cover below me.
Heading north along Skyline, I drove back into fog. Here’s a shot at one of the trailheads. You can just see blue sky peeking through the trees, below the clouds…
… until around Skyline OSP where the sun came out again:

So one of the great things about where I live is the commute. No,
really– I head up out of the San Lorenzo valley into the Santa Cruz
mountains, through Saratoga Gap, and over the hill down into Silicon
Valley.
Since yesterday was a really nice, warm, sunny spring day (the
first we’ve had, I think), I snapped a few pictures on the way in:
This was looking roughly east (I think) out over the top of the San
Lorenzo valley from the overlook on Highway 9. Here’s a shot looking
south-west from Skyline:
I didn’t shoot any on the drive down Page Mill– the valley was
kind of hazed over, and I was late for work, anyway.
