Photo looking across Rocky Shoreline toward the open water, San Francisco Bay. Thick clouds shroud the far shore. Wispy clouds and blue skies overhead.
View looking out out across calm San Francisco Bay water. Area in the center of the frame where you should see the Golden Gate Bridge and the marin headlands is completely obscured by a thick dramatic cloud.
Moody clouds over the bay tonight.

Vertical panorama of a groove of redwood trees on the edge of a road
Close-up view of the face of a banana slug, yellowish green with black spots
Photo of the base of a large redwood tree, where the bottom has been mostly burnt out by fire. The section above this is covered with lush green moss.
View looking into the grove of fir and redwoods, with ferns, sorrel, and moss growing across the floor and stumps.
On the way home I took a quick detour to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. Hadn't been there in ages.
Always rejuvenating to spend time in the redwoods.
Crossed paths with several school groups of very young, very excited kids. Mushrooms! Slugs! Trees! ππ

Photo looking across a calm river towards hills on the far side. Far shoreline is covered with shrubs. Hills are a mix of open grassy land, pompous, grass, and trees.
Photo looking across a meadow towards a tree-covered hillside, shrouded in fog
Photo of a snake, probably a baby rattler
Photo looking upstream along river corridor. Water is almost mirror smooth. Shoreline on the right is pebbles. Shoreline on the left is covered with shrubs at the base of grassy hills.
Spent a few days up along the Russian River at Sonoma Coast State Park ποΈ. Gorgeous mix of sun & fog.
Had the whole campground to myself! Well, except for the snakes, all the birds, a lot of slugs, and various highly nocturnal mammals. And a curious harbor seal.
