The water-striders are out on the creeks now. I'm amazed by how fast they can move against the current. There are also clouds of midges (Chironomids) zooming around just above the water.

I know mallards are common,
but look at these guys.
They're really trying their best! They have the emerald-to-sapphire head with a white neck stripe and a curly black tail feather.
What's not to like?

Grayson Creek, Pleasant Hill, California.

Reading Independence Lost by Kathleen DuVal, which is a book about every single thing I didnโ€™t know about the American Revolutionary War, including the underlined about smallpox outbreaks in the south. (Underlining done as a photo edit, not in the book!)

Two waterfalls in Contra Costa County in the Bay Area, a place not generally known for its waterfalls.

First is in Donner Canyon on Mount Diablo, taken Monday. Accessible via the Falls Trail, a sometimes strenuous climb.

Second is on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, one of the first RR right-of-ways to be converted to a pedestrian path. Taken during the huge AR storm on New Year's Eve, but it flows for much of the winter.

Not a lot of waterfalls in Contra Costa County, so you take what you can get.

First one is in Donner Canyon on Mount Diablo. Second is on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, one of the first railroad right-of-ways to be converted to a pedestrian path.

I found Amanita Designs years ago when they were making awesome puzzle games for the web, mainly Machinarium, but their others too. Finally finished last night. What a beautiful puzzle game. amanita-design.net/games/creak
