Matthew's web log

After a rainy day yesterday, today was another sunny day. I took some photos at a local garden in the East San Jose Foothills called Nola's Iris Garden. The full album can be found here:

Another weekend shot.

One of the better shots from earlier this year.

Email blog updates can theoretically support images. 

With some minor modifications to the site, blog by email is now
working. The blog should automatically update when I send a new post to it.

In an attempt at preparing for blog updates while on the road, I set up
a way for me to email in my new posts. This is a short message to test
if I’ve set things up properly.

The Mercury News had a story today that explains the police presence and motorcycles I observed yesterday.  There was some kind of biker Easter party that happens every year and that was at the same park I was heading to to shoot some photos.  People get themselves and their bikes blessed  Who knew bunnies and bikes went together?

I had not taken any photos in awhile and I took advantage of good weather and free time today to go do just that.  My first stop was the Rose Garden near downtown San Jose, but that didn't happen.  When I got near there, I started seeing lots of police and the road that I had directions to park on looked closed due to construction.  I navigated around some side streets to try and find a spot to park, but didn't have any luck.  As I made my second pass by the park, it didn't look as nice as I had hoped so I changed plans and head to Los Gatos.  I've shot around the Los Gatos Creek before, but not in a while and it's always a pretty walk.  I was having some camera issues with a few shots (camera autofocus wasn't working in shutter priority mode), but most of them came out.  Take a look at all the photos
