My hikers page, lots of mostly local hiking pictures.

We walked over to Blue Sky for breakfast, along Mirada, and later drove over to the Distillery to watch the ocean during the time when a possible tsunami was expected (it did not arrive)

We walked over to the bluff above Mavericks to watch the contest. Saw lots of people, had a good breakfast, Gale got soaked by spray from a really big wave, we saw some of the surfing, and had a fun adventure. It also shows how fast erosion is happening; a big slab of concrete fell between the 30 January set and this set taken on 13 Feburary 2010

Bike ride from SF Train station to Tiburon, and return on the ferry, 4 July 2009.

Kate Wolf Memorial Festival, 2009.

Pictures from Vichy Hot Springs, where I stayed while attending the Kate Wolf music festival this year. A pleasant place to stay and soak, and some nice short hikes as well.

Pictures of baby hummingbirds in a nest outside my front door

The mother was pretty frantic at all the foot traffic under her nest for a while, divebombing us fairly often. The babies are probably about a week old in these pictures.

    thumbnail of Picture_of_RoyalArches_Dave_Picture_circa_1979.jpg
    A picture of me at Royal Arches (above the Ahwanee) around 1979, taken by my ex. This is a picture of picture, hence the flash flare.
    My farewell T-Shirt (front) My farewell T-Shirt (back)
    My farewell from SGI T-shirt, enscribed ;) by my co-workers. (front view) Yes, that is an Redtail Ale in my hand, after which I named my home system (my work system at SGI was anchor, named after Anchor Steam Beer. That was actually a series of systems, as I worked on new systems (4D/20, 4D/35, Indigo2, and finally, an MP/MXI OCTANE). My farewell from SGI T-shirt, enscribed ;) by my co-workers. (back view)
    Picture of me Eating Habaneros
    At SGI's 1994 picnic, another in my balloon hat tradition. Eating habanero hamburgers at the Prince of Wales pub. A somewhat bizarre SGI tradition...
    Special effects Dave in a tie
    A double exposure of me and CD This is a (almost literally!) once in a lifetime picture of me in a tie. It's the first time that I've worn a tie since I was a teenager, and it may well be the last time. It was part of a "dress differently" theme part at SGI. Yes, that *is* an Microsoft/SGI shirt, also, and I'm not exactly a fan of MS. It's about as different from normal as I'm likely to ever be, short of wearing a suit, which is even less likely; the last time I did that was at a wedding when I was 7 or 8 years old!
    Gerry, Betsy, and Dave at SGI, Winterfair 2000

    The image of me in a tie was cropped from this picture of Gerry Lohr, Betsy Zeller, and I at the SSBU's Winterfair 2000.

    Fortune Systems company picnic, 1985

    This is a picture I just recently found from my days at Fortune Systems. It's from the company picnic in the summer of 1985.

    As far as I can tell, I'm not in it anywhere, but it's hard to tell for sure even with a magnifying lens in bright sunlight. The large image is 128KB, 1024x771. Unfortunately, at this resolution, it's hard to see anybody. I've therefore got one more scanned at a higher resolution. This one is 600KB, and 1940x1461. Still tough to see much, unfortunately.

    After I tore my biceps tendon (stupidly strong bouldering accident)

    On right showing bicep moved up arm (compare to photo of left arm on left) because it's no longer attached to the bone on the bottom after tendon rupture (torn from bone below biceps). Bandage over splint, day after surgery

    Family pictures. I keep meaning to add more, but somehow don't get around to it.
    My dad in 1956 (2nd from R)
    A picture of my dad and some of his co-workers at what is now Caltrans, taken in 1956. My dad is 2nd from the right, and the picture was given to my dad for his 70th birthday (his last, he succumbed to cancer shortly afterward) by his friend Bob Crockett (2nd from left).
