Plenty o' Polliwogs @ Pig Pond

TSG encountered a bumper crop of tadpoles at this water hole in Pacheco State Park--

more than we've ever seen in one spot before.

 Also in attendance today:

1.  a swimming garter snake
2.  a polliwog parent 
3. some dragonflies doin' it.

Dark/shadowy area along right edge of pond--all polliwogs!

New Apple headquarters in Sunnyvale.

  Looks a little like the building from the new Patton Oswalt movie,

 don't you think?

E. (not Easter) Seals

The Elephant Seal season is drawing to a close at Point Reyes National Seashore. But there are still quite a few "weaners" hanging out on the beach. They'll be heading off into the open ocean in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime they mostly lay around, have play fights and make rude-sounding noises.
