Today must be a photo day.  Here are a couple of photos of my neighborhood from aloft, taken by Scott Loftesness who took these and other shots while his plane circled above the San Francisco Bay in preparation for landing.  Aloft, get it? 😉

The waterway (same one you see in the racoon photo below) looks like a pickaxe, no?  The cluster of buildings at lower left is the Oracle HQ.

Same area seen from the opposite side.

One of these days, I'll get a kayak (sold the old one years ago) and explore the marsh area on the left side of the picture above.
