The first are of chestnut backed chickadees, they aren't very good

a few of some duck, I don't know what sort, but judging by it's red

WHen did you take the photo, Jan?
I named the one in front "Sam" .. Ok, maybe it isn't Sam and his wife,

While it is unlikely Sam recognized me and was just looking for anyone

Re: OT: Coffee

With all the many threats to the environment today, coffee capsules are at
best an insignificant part of the problem.  I would generate far more
environmentally deleterious trash by purchasing my coffee from StarBuck$ or
a local barista, many of whom still use Styrofoam cups.

PESO it's a little snowy in Santa Cruz


I got a few quick snaps around Corcoran lagoon this weekend:

For those interested in the whole set:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157690549042455

The first are of chestnut backed chickadees, they aren't very good 
photographically (those little bastards aren't very cooperative 
subjects) I posted them so my friend RJ could help ID them.  I've got a 
few of some duck, I don't know what sort, but judging by it's red eyes, 
it might be wintering here from hell.  There's some sort of unidentified 
pink flower and leaves of what I think might be nasturtiums.

Coffee capsules are an environmental disaster. The whole thing is a classic

Re: PESO: BF

Thanks, Jack

Painted ladies are frustrating photographic  subjects.  The underside of
the wings are rather dull, while the upper surfaces much more interesting
and colorful.  Rxcept in flight, they almost always keep their wings
folded, even while feeding. Even when they do open their wings while on the
ground or a branch, it is only for a brief "twitch," making it almost
impossible to get a good image of the upper wing surface.  Swallowtails and
even Monarchs are more cooperative in this regard, although never easy.

I did, Dan, along with others. We're currently at $351.49, which will 
give us 4.6 more months if we're not charged for the extra bandwidth. 
I'll put in another ticket for them to take a look at our usage, which

Re: OT: Coffee

On that subject, I recently received a very good espresso/coffee machine.

It requires special capsules, and they are not cheap, but they are
extremely convenient, and inexpensive compared to buying coffee from
StarBuck or even Duncan Donuts.
