Raptors and Strings.

3-13-17 LOS GATOS, CA: Jon and Siobhan live part way up a mountain a bit west of downtown Los Gatos. They have great views, and a lot of raptors drift by during the day, and small birds flit around through the oak, bay and eucalyptus trees that surround the house. I managed to catch a couple pix over the last few days.

This morning Judy, Pam, Siobhan’s mom, and I hiked upwards from the house and saw a raptor land in a nearby tree and pose for a few pix.

 Tonight was the big concert. Eoin is in the Senior section of the San José Youth Chamber Orchestra. All the divisions of the SJYCO, played at the Trianon in downtown San José. The music was from Telemann and Bach, through Haydn, Schubert, Wagner, Bizet, Ralph Vaughan Williams to John Williams.
