No pictures for TB today. I saw a man riding his bike while using a portable oxygen tank but didn’t take a picture because the O2 tank was stowed in his backpack, and I didn’t think the nasal tube would show in a photo. Now that’s a dedicated cyclist! If TB needed to be on oxygen, he’d still find a way to ride his bike, too. Maybe put the O2 in his CamelBak<\/strong><\/a>, maybe fit it in a water bottle holder.<\/p>\n Today’s proof shot:<\/p>\n [thumb:547:c:l=p]<\/p>\n Today I trekked to the Berkeley Rose Garden. I saw lots of big, copper-colored dragonflies. I took probably 8 pictures, and captured a dragonfly in only 1. I got lucky — those suckers fly quickly, in a zig-zag pattern. I also got pictures of some damselflies; much easier, they like to spend a lot of time on the ground. This pair flew & landed on the path in front of me many times and never separated. I don’t know if they were mating, riding a little damselfly tandem bike, or had separation anxiety. Also, a third damselfly kept following them; I don’t know what that was about. Today’s non-rose garden flora:<\/p>\n [thumb:555:c:l=p]<\/p>\n I was surprised that some of the leaves are changing color already. It’s still summer!<\/p>\n Architecture:<\/p>\n [cpg_album:69,3]<\/p>\n Miscellany:<\/p>\n [thumb:568:c:l=p]<\/p>\n
