Over near the cactus garden today there were at least a dozen woodpeckers flying madly about from tree to tree, playing or fighting or I'm not exactly sure what? They were diving a lot in the air, often two or three at a time. I've never seen anything like it. I didn't have the right lens at all, but figured I could crop a lot, which I did. It's not the best shot, but it was so cool to watch them, I wanted to record it.

On the walls at the Coffee House are caricatures of Stanford personalities--students, alumni, faculty and staff. One is of climate expert and biology professor Stephen Schneider, who died last month. His wife and collaborator, Terry Root--a senior fellow at Woods Institute for the Environment--is pictured just above him. Someone has put a green heart next to his picture, with the words, "Steve, The world weeps for you!!!"

Emeritus President Dick Lyman was happy to be photographed, as long as it didn't make him miss his bus! (This is one of my favorite photographs I've taken in a long time--I'm so glad that we crossed paths.)

Construction has been going on near the corner of Campus Drive and Galvez for almost two months. (I don't think I'm exaggerating.) They are digging up Campus Drive to put in new water pipes, for heating the new Business School campus--at least that's what one of the Public Safety Officers who helps you cross the road told me. He also said that ALL the Stanford roads will need to go through the same thing, to replace the old steam pipes from the CoGen plant.

Tuesday mornings, Kamla Bhatt has has two shows on KZSU: "It's Bollywood" and "Stanford Spotlight." We talked about my blog on Stanford Spotlight this morning. Kamla doesn't like to be in front of the camera, so this will have to do.
