Sunrise on the Peninsula Part One: Birds

Last week, Lastech and I went off to watch a sunrise. He took me to the area where he took his last group of pics. It’s called Shoreline at Mountain View.  It is home to a lot of birds. It’s full of birds during the migration season. We plan to go back to take advantage of it.

Shoreline at Mountain View

South of San Francisco is the town of Mountain View. In 1956 the first company to develop silicon semiconductor devices was located there. The area is now known as Silicon Valley. Shoreline Park is built on an old landfill. It features an artificial lake and golf course. It has many trails and is adjacent to the bird sanctuary.

Here are a few photos taken by Lastech at sunrise.

Tuesday odd bits

Here are a few photos that don’t fall into a convenient category. I adore them and think they should be seen though. 🙂

The first one is taken by flumptytail. She’s the mum of a bazillion kitties and I just had to post it here.  One word.  WOW!

Mantis by flumptytail
Flumptytail took this pic of a baby praying mantis. She said it was about a half inch (1.27 cm) long. The photo is impressive

The rest of the pics have been taken by Lastech. It’s an odd lot and are unidentified.

Wednesday Wonder

As I mentioned before, Lastech is now working a graveyard shift and we’re adjusting. It’s not a bad thing. 🙂 Lastech has managed to come home with some very nice pics. Here are a few of them.  ALL pics in this post were taken by him.

Now for the bonus pics.  Lastech was driving through the neighborhood on his way home from work and had a WTF moment.  He couldn’t resist taking pics of the lawn mowers in action.
