Whole lotta shaking

Tonight there was an earthquake that hit near San Jose. It was the largest I've felt since moving to California almost a decade ago.

Reports of it were over 5 in magnitude, which I had guessed, though it's the first one I've come close to guessing accurately.

Though the house shook a lot only a dish broke. I had sort of expected Sebastian to react more right before one, but he was pretty calm. He did come into my room to check on me right after. I wonder if dogs really sense something is wrong before quakes, if so he didn't try to warn me in any way I can tell.

Rosie the Riveter Park stone

Rosie the Riveter Park in Richmond is just incredible. My favorite part was the st0nes which have words from Rosies talking about their work. One of my favorites:

Sebastian at Home

Every so often when I'm at home working, Sebastian will unknowingly get into a great pose. I was editing some files when I saw him like this and reached for the first camera handy, in this case a point and shoot (hence the white eye look).

Bay Tour

Today I went on a bay tour and fish assessment voyage around the San Francisco Bay. I brought a point and shoot travel camera and took this self portrait against one of the many pieces of artwork created by students who have been there, I thought it made a great backdrop. More photos to follow.

Pre-Quinceneara Shots

A special day is coming up for Alexa's twin sisters. Alexa likes having her picture taken so I got a few of this adorable 5 year old first. Here she is showing off how she can put her tongue through her teeth gap - too cute.



Some of my favorites from the twins session from Leal Vineyards in Hollister, CA.







Adrianna and Esmerelda will be having their quinceneara next month and will be escorted by their brother (who was a little camera shy and didn't join us but promised to smile big on their day).
