Just outside the window Jasper likes to stare out. Every time they come by, he cackles. (click to enlarge)

Egret and Grebes at dawn, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Memorial Day weekend was wildly successful both in terms of birding and seeing great music at the Sasquatch Festival. Though they wouldn't let me take the SLR into the festival, I did take hundreds of shots throughout the county both before and after the music was done. Check out the wildlife and scenery gallery here. Final tally for the trip, twenty new bird species spotted, and many improved shots of others.

Solstice Parade-25, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Photos from the Fremont Solstice Parade. These 75 shots are 99.95% Safe-For-Work for your viewing pleasure. The other 225 that I took... not so much.

(On a related note, I rolled past the 5000-shots-taken mark early in this shoot.)

Happy few-days-after-the-solstice. Many more pictures of the Solstice Parade to follow, once I filter out the 90% containing random body painting and dubious nudity.

Hey look! The weather station is back online!

No local link yet for pictures or archives, but it is once again sending data to the Weather Underground... and now with exciting improvements like updates every ten seconds and using only 4% of the electricity it formerly used to for the task!

As the neighbor who drove past as I was installing the station on the back fence asked, "What are you, some sort of scientist?"

"Find your Samson"

Presumably it was referring to cats that formerly had that name, and not male enhancement or anything naughty like that.  However, since I've already got an ex-Samson I didn't bother to verify.

On Tuesday, Jasper took his first outdoor foray in nearly a year.

"I remember these green pointy things!"

...the only problem being that he has also remembered that he can yowl at the door constantly to express his desire to go out and continue chomping.
