Neighborhood Foliage

Right place, right time — of the day and year. All photos taken while walking the dog around the neighborhood.

Backyard Elegance

I’ve discovered that bright daylight shining through a tree can produce a beautiful image. Below is a red-leafed Japanese maple, and a flowering cherry tree (which only blossoms for a few weeks a year) — both of which are in our backyard.

Beauty in Tragedy

Tragic story around this photo —

Early in my time at Salesforce, my daughter had a coworker whose mom went missing — and they thought she might have gone astray on her way from the peninsula to the east bay. As such, I joined an effort to search the marshland near her town looking for (evidence of) her along the path she would have taken.

They later found her — turns out she drove off the road, and died. 🙁 It was an interesting/sad experience searching for her — with this photo being the only highlight.
