20121104 The oaks along Moffett have faded. I've just noticed the landscaping work over the summer added birches in clover leaf at Moffett & CA 85.
20121105 Coot, seagulls, and mallards. Water still down. Leaving the office after the switch to standard time: it is pitch dark. On the outflow ledge exposed by the lower water levels, i note a night heron feeding.
20121106 Beautiful autumn day with clear sparkling blue sky. Ginkos are goldening up, but still the fruits mainly line the streets. Oaks on Moffett between 101 & 85 have lost most of their leaves. No crepe myrtle blossoms any more: i last noticed them in late September. A hawk perched where Hillsdale merges to n 101. The buckeyes are turning more tan, loosing the bright green.
20121212: Crisp, clear morning. With the "king tides" approaching, i notice the high water in salt marshes close to 101. The water is still down a foot and a half in the channel near work. Gulls, mallards, and a coot at the water feature.
20121114 Light coverage of middle altocumulus & wispy cirrus, a visible lower layer up peninsula. Basically clear & bright. Complex flowers: camillia, red geranium, oleander hedge, bottle brush. Olives under olive tree. Sweet gum has not changed leaf color.
20121115 Google's Self Driving car passed me in the HOV lane: the robot should not count as an occupant, not yet! Morning is crisp, a lovely flock of altocumulus clouds, an elegant tiling, hinting at fractal patterns. Side-lit by the rising sun with the bright blue sky behind was a lovely pattern, reflected in rear windshields and polished car finishes. As i reach the north west edge of the cloud field, i can see the faintest of crepuscular rays streaming toward the west. It seems two of the altocumulus clouds at the edge of the flock have dropped in altitude and turned to virga: a rainshower that dissipates high in the air.
