Turbaned

SFBA

Though I love to travel, I'm grateful to have an amazing place to come home to.

Sunset at Sutro Tower.

 Golden Gate Bridge is stunning just about any time.

 Marin County is just a hop across the bridge. (That's Tennessee Beach)

 Some poor leprechaun lost his pipe.

That's me on Sunday. The weather was fantastic!

Considering the Snail

It's been a LONG time since I've posted anything at all. I saw this adorable little guy outside the restroom at the Palo Alto Baylands and had to make a run for my camera. Fortunately, he had not made much progress by the time I returned.

From Scarlet to Powdered Gold

I spotted this tiny hummingbird at my parents' house in Fredonia. The body was about 4cm, the bill half again as long.

Hands

by Robinson Jeffers

Inside a cave in a narrow canyon near Tassajara
The vault of rock is painted with hands,
A multitude of hands in the twilight, a cloud of men's palms, no more,
No other picture. There's no one to say
Whether the brown shy quiet people who are dead intended
Religion or magic, or made their tracings
In the idleness of art; but over the division of years these careful
Signs-manual are now like a sealed message
Saying: "Look: we also were human; we had hands, not paws. All hail
You people with the cleverer hands, our supplanters
In the beautiful country; enjoy her a season, her beauty, and come down
And be supplanted; for you also are human."
