Neighborhood cats. So last week it was a bobcat by the deck, that was sort of cute, last night the security cameras captured a bigger kitty about 7:30pm. Don’t think I’d like to meet this guy while sitting on the deck.

Sometimes I forget about California's newest National Park -Pinnacles. it's small but has some great hiking. Sort of feels like a mini Zion NP in someways. Give it a try ( get there early!) while the days are still cool. 'cos it can get pretty hot here in summer! PinnaclesNPS

Evening , VMware campus , Palo Alto.

California central coast today - hiking in the Redwoods (Mt. Madonna) this morning and watching the ocean fog roll into Big Sur in the evening. Now that's a good day!

Gave my first #VMwareExplore 2022 presentation to industry analysts this morning with Raghu Raghuram. It's great (and fun!) to be back to live events after nearly 3 years. Stay tuned for some great tech announcements over the next few days from #VMware and its partners.

On stage at #VMwareExplore2022 Raghu Raghuram is "super pumped" 😀 to announce #VMware 's new products and especially the "Big One" - vSphere 8!

Fantastic to see Amanda Blevins and Kit Colbert take the stage at #VMwareExplore2022. Talking about Cloud Smart - consistent management, infrastructure services, and security across your multi-cloud environment.

Loved Kelsey Hightower 's short talk on the journey from datacenter to VMs, to Cloud to Containers , to Kubernetes. Clear, Concise to the point - that's not just a lesson on cloud - but also a lesson in communication.#VMware #VMwareExplore2022

The Lone Monarch. From a population of millions in the 1980s the number of western monarchs has plummeted in last decades. It's early in 2022/2023 season but today I saw this single butterfly in a Eucalyptus grove in Big Sur - hopefully the first of many more this year.

Happy 25th Birthday #VMware , Great to be here at the party on the Palo Alto campus - celebrating 25 years of innovation, Customer Passion and of course an EPIC2 culture. Thank you and congratulations to the world wide VMware team! Raghu Raghuram

Wildflowers, Carrizo Plain, California,today. No AI was used in creating this video😀

This is a Live shot from Yosemite today. Sadly you may be prevented from seeing this for a while. National Parks may close if Congress fails to prevent a gov. shutdown. “ Gates will be locked , visitor centers will be closed and thousands of park rangers will be furloughed”.

South Lake Tahoe, early yesterday afternoon. Bear Picnic - completely unfazed by cars and people walking by.

Sometimes the wild comes to you..busy parking lot, Monterey CA. this morning.

Had the opportunity to spend a few hours hiking California central coast area this week. Got to watch this hawk for about 20 minute as he actively hunted by Asilomar beach, then a great sunset over the Pacific from Carmel beach, finally a comet, looking west near Pebble beach.

Our National parks are simply amazing. You walk about 1.5 miles in from a busy highway ( Tioga rd. YNP) and within minutes you’re in a pristine protected wilderness. National Park Service
