Solar eclipse!

From Mountain View, the solar eclipse today was just shy of annular -- but still pretty cool!

Butano State Park

On Saturday, Stacey and I went for a hike at one of our favorite parks in the bay area, Butano State Park. It's full of redwoods, ferns, streams, banana slugs, and best of all, it's never very crowded.

On our 3 hour hike we counted 157 banana slugs. A far cry from the 436 we saw one time last year but still pretty good!
