The dead of winter

There is nothing going on in the garden right now, some of the orchids didn't fare very well before I took them indoor in the wet winter California chill of 40s. Some random pictures to tie over until life returns in the garden...

It was a miserable day on 1/2/09, so we took the nut to Coyote point museum, they have a fantastic view of the bay where one can see the airplane coming in


Bob cat in the Coyote point museum and zoo (very tiny zoo, I would say maybe they have less than 10 animals, they are more like pets)


Testing my new camera, wow, clarity
