We’ve spotted a baby hummer and its favorite spot to hangout is the top of a banana tree. Sandy has proclaimed it as the Banana Baby.
Banana Baby
Bankhead 2022
Seems like it’s been a million years since we’ve seen Jon perform (Does he remember how to play?). So we jumped at the chance when he had a concert in Livermore. But 1st we visited Range Life for dinner.
Natural State Bridges Monarch Trail
I visited the monarch trail while in the area with the idea of photographing the butterflies. Unfortunately February is the end of the season and there were only a few.
Ramen Nagi
Jon-Michael introduced me to this new place. Black squid ink ramen, so good.
He also introduced me to Uncle Tetsu cheesecakes.
Koa 2009-2022
Sad news, my friend Koa passed away recently. We dropped by 3 weeks ago and she was as sweet as ever. That was the last time we saw her.
San Francisco Zoo 2022
Sandy gave me a membership to the SF Zoo for Christmas, so we finally made the trip out.
Hummer Shoot
I shoot whatever is in my backyard and lately that has been the Hummingburds.
I don’t always get it right as sometimes I catch them in these awkward positions or angles.
I eventually get something though.
Hummer Portrait
Humphrey allowed me to get close enough to shoot this.
Cloud Egg Brunch
Edible Insects
I watched a interesting episode of Nova and they made a compelling argument for eating insects, mainly good gut bacteria. On the environmental side they make a much smaller footprint. Therefore I decided to give it a try by starting easy… ground crickets in a smoothie. Sandy said if I start chirping at night she will pull the plug on this 💩.
