Acorn Woodpeckers
I came home to a crew of 4 or 5 Acorn Woodpeckers at the top of my palm tree. They were a pretty raucous group, alternately pecking for bugs in the cracks of the tree trunk and jousting with each other.
They let me take a few photos and then they flew off.

Quick bike ride before the heat set in. About 11 miles with just under 4 miles off-pavement.

Getting more excited about hyping our concerts as both the music and the rest of the show come together. I'm not saying there's gonna be a giant yellow submarine, but I'm not saying there's NOT going to be one.
Come hear a bunch of goofy queers sing some Beatles! https://www.oaklandgmc.org/tickets #Oakland #WalnutCreek #music #live #concert

Here's to the road ahead
A 9.4 mile ride through city streets, bike trails, #CastleRockPark, and #BorgesRanch this morning.
I stopped part way out and tapped out a quick message to a friend I hadn't talked with in a while and ended up coming out on a new trail.

The snow is melting but there's still a lot visible on the top of Mt Diablo. This photo from the west.
(The snow is a lot more bright and obvious in person.)
Snowy Mt. Diablo today, seen from the west.

What a coincidence? I left one creek in Europe to live on the banks of another one in North America.
