WFSF.

That means Working From San Francisco in work-speak.  The team met in the SF office today rather than our normal Pleasanton digs.  The San Francisco office is pretty nice.  We had lunch at MarketBar, underneath those yellow umbrellas in the bottom right of the photo.  What a wonderful change of pace.

Pronghorn in Wyoming

Aren't pronghorn wonderful?  I guess there are a lot in Eastern Oregon, I need to get up there to see them.  I've only seen them in Wyoming.  Love Wyoming, though, I'd like to spend more time there as well.  There are so many amazing things to see in the American West, how will I ever get it all in?

Black Sand Basin is a nice stop on the Southern Loop in Yellowstone National Park.  It has a handful of pretty pools with the Firehole River running right through it.

Bobcat

The ol' random number generator pulled up this picture from last year.  It's a bobcat that Pongo and I saw at Pinnacles National Park.  This is the third of three that I've seen there in the last few years.  So, yeah, if you want to go someplace where you have at least a chance of seeing a bobcat, you could do worse than Pinnacles.

Here's another picture from this weekend that I find amusing.  This one is all in my head.  At first, this reminded me of the painting of the delegates signing the Declaration of Independence.  I know that's a real stretch, but that's what I saw.  Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin on the right, that's probably John Hancock up there ready to sign.

I know, I know, that's a stretch.  That's what I saw when when I processed the image this weekend.  I told you, it's all in my head.

Today I'm seeing the geese on the right as the king and queen receiving tribute from their subjects.  The king and queen of Colusa.

Still a stretch, right?

Well, I guess Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin are on the left.  I don't know who that is on the right.

A Shoveler Stretching Her Wings

 There's nothing particularly exciting about these photos.  I like how they work together as a whole.  I've never seen a female northern shoveler look so pretty, so maybe that's the exciting part?

Synchronized Swimming

I'm not sure what these geese were up to.  They kept tilting their heads to the side.  This shot reminded me of Olympic synchronized swimmers.  Silly geese.
