Joseph D. Grant Ranch – Santa Clara County, California

I saw a photo at the store the other day, a tree silhouetted against the sky. I live just over the hill from Joseph D. Grant Ranch, close to San Jose where similar trees stand perched on top of small hills. I’ve tried taking photos of them in the past with little success. Today, we went for a short hike with the family and had my Canon PowerShot G9. The photo above was one of the more successful attempts. I experimented with a sepia treatment, but the contrast between the tree and the blue sky was so much more striking and less cliche than the silhouette.

Blogging on the Mac made easier

I’ve been trying to find a tool like Microsoft Live Writer that allows you to write blog entries without the web interface. I’ve finally found one – Ecto. While not a slick as Live Writer, it’s a good alternative when I’m on my Mac. You can find it at http://illumineX.com/mac/ecto/
