Lastech took this pic with his phone at Sierra Point yesterday morning.

Blooming discoveries, Batman!
The month of May, when plants grow and bloom, has been spectacular this year. Ka-Pow!
Bookending a visit to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park were a solar eclipse on the 20th preceded by the apparition of the Perigee (or Super) moon on the 5th. Whamo!
- Eclipse and Perigee
This trip to the Academy of Sciences was made even more enjoyable because of the San Francisco Neighborhood Free Days, making our visit free. Zing!
Having said that, and after viewing all the exhibits, it is well worth the regular admission price. We will take you along on our trip in three segments. The fourth would have been the Planetarium, but since photographs were forbidden and the material copyrighted, we are left with the aforementioned celestial shows available to all (or most). Zoosh!
I have played with the solar eclipse pictures a bit as the originals look like this and are not sexy enough (crash!):

Clouds, Doggy Exercise, and Reptile Romance
The rains are almost done for the season and the clouds will make way for the summer fog, but it has been glorious. When the clouds are that great, it means a trip to Sierra Point with the camera.
After that, we went to McLaren Park to take a walk around the reservoir and watch the dogs play in the water.
The dog never did catch up with the duck. When the dog got too close, the duck would flap partway across the pond to lengthen the lead. Then the dog would chase the duck until it got too close and then it would start all over again. Twenty minutes later, the duck was still leading the dog around the reservoir. The dog got his/her exercise for the day.
After the entertainment provided by the dog and the duck, we headed back to the car. On the way, we found a pair of lizards enjoying the sunshine. The male lizard was doing a little romantic dance for his lady lizard that alternated between head bobbing and push ups. He was quite enthusiastic. We moved past quietly so as to avoid disturbing their budding romance.
Clouds by Lastech
As you may know, Lastech works the night shift. His commute home takes him by Sierra Point in time for sunrise. When it’s not foggy, he stops for cloud pictures. There have plenty of clouds lately.
Sunrise at Sierra Point in Brisbane
The weather is slowly changing. The summer fog will give way to the winter rains. The other day, before heading off to the farmer’s market, we drove a couple miles south of San Francisco to Brisbane to watch the sunrise.
