Sunnyvale has been Soggyvale for the past week as it has been raining on and off almost everyday. On the plus side, the rain brings out the color of these yellow daisies :)

San Disk-o-naut


My new USB flash memory drive looks like an astronaut! :)

(I shot the picture against a wallpaper on my monitor, the color temperature was adjusted to create a blue tone on the drive's body. The light source was standard office overhead tube-lights. The camera mode was set to 'macro')

'Spectacular spectacles' at San Francisco airport

San Francisco airport has a very interesting collection of spectacles on display these days. I snapped away a few pictures quickly without drawing attention to myself :)


'Mask' Spectacles 1960s (France)


Mardi Gras spectacles 1986 (Taiwan)

Hurray for spring!

Another tree from my office parking lot, I used an 18mm wide angle lens with a low angle to avoid showing all the cars and buildings.

I kinda like the black & white version better, unfortunately my blogger template only supports a width of 400 pixels therefore you would have to click on these thumbnails to see the bigger version of these pictures.

Duck orientation


(Click on the image to see the Complete picture)

Lake Elizabeth in Fremont is where most local kids get their first introduction with the little furry creatures we so adoringly refer to as ducks.

Every weekend I see many little ones trying to either chase, pet or feed ducks. Some kids are shy at first, hiding behind their parent's legs when a duck comes close, others try to scare and then chase the ducks off. This family was encouraging their daughters to feed the ducks. You can also see a little asian baby in the back watching the whole thing with great interest :)

Spring bouquets


(Click on the image to see the Complete picture)

I have noticed something interesting about the trees in our parking lot, the flowers start blooming before the tree grows leaves. And the flowers are usually bunched together like natural bouquets.

The Computer Science building at Stanford is named after a dropout billionaire, what an irony! ;)

Today's fortune

Chineese fortune cookies are the epitome of diplomacy, no matter who you are and where you are from the fortune it tells will fit you like a glove.

Spring is coming


(Click on the image to see the Complete picture)

Spring is just around the corner, young leaves are yawning, rubbing their eyes and sticking their head out to see what the world looks like. They are full of color, have that sparkle in their eyes and have a fresh perspective, standing out from the old, wise grey leaves.

Sunrise sunrise

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin' in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone
- Norah Jones (Sunrise)
