This morning we went to see the butterfly migration that I mentioned a couple of days ago in San Leandro. There weren’t as many as I was hoping to see, but the clusters were still amazing.

Yet another reason that the Bay Area is awesome… I’ve always wanted to see the migration of the Monarch butterfly, so I was delighted to find out that there are several spots in the area where they stop and rest. We don’t have anywhere near the same numbers as central Mexico, but still a significant 3,000 to 100,000 (depending on where you go). Here’s a fun article about it, East Bay: Migration of monarch butterflies gets naturalists aflutter. The article also links to more resources and information.

I just got back from another trip to Texas, my half-brother Ricky got married in Galveston. My dad rented a beach house there for two nights. While there I found a much better way of collecting sea shells – here they are in my Flickr photoset. The water was very strange, on Friday there were no waves in the Gulf, it was super calm. Dad’s friend Donnie said he had never seen it so flat. Saturday it picked up some and by Sunday morning it sounded nice and soothing.

The wedding was nice, about 250 people. The ceremony was short and the reception followed right after. It was in this oversized, enclosed gazebo – quite beautiful. The bride’s father gave a kick-ass speech (apparently he does it for a living). And, my favorite part, desert was fabulous. Fondue and butterscotch flavored cake – yum.

While we were gone I boarded Joe with my new vet. He was extremely happy to see Steve and I. He ran around the house like a crazy man and then slept the rest of the evening. He was probably exhausted from the stress of worrying about us. Everyone there had to say goodbye to Joe because they all fell in love with him.

I submitted two designs to Threadless, check them out and vote for me – I only have seven days!

Congratulations to Tammy for correctly guessing the December logo! Now for January’s super tough logo – can you guess what it is?
