Buggy Weekend; spring is here!
I took a walk with the camera on Saturday. Even with all the rain, spring is definitely here in Northern California. Lots of flowers are in bloom and the California Poppies are particularly striking in our neighborhood.
I caught this bee working one of the 8 foot tall flower spikes on a bush in the community garden. Looks like it is hanging on for all it is worth! She eventually remembered how to fly, though.
I am seriously pining for an Intel build of Aperture. iPhoto is a great tool, but it just can’t deal with the dozens-of-frames-of-the-same-thing picture taking mode possible with digital + Aperture’s stack-and-select.
With spring comes lots of bugs. This makes Roger very happy. This is a spider he found in the yard. I believe that is an egg case on its backside. Any idea what kind of spider it is?

Aw, Bill. When I saw the title of this post, I totally thought you were talking about another kind of buggy. And I was going to correct you that it’s actually not until NEXT weekend (April 21-22). Any chance you can make a surprise appearance at the house? Apparently they just convinced national to lift the social probation and are allowing alcohol for 4 days. Love to see you there.
