The dogs and I were out recently, a pleasantly foggy dawn, enjoying the new day. When we got out to the misty campground, looking over to the boat ramp, the sky looked like this:

Scorched Flora & Snatched Fauna
Posted in animals, dogs, gardening, life, pets, photography, walking on November 1, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I seem to have developed a thing for trying to save scrawny trees. When I had such a notion last spring, near where I work at SF’s Civic Center, it met an ignoble end.
Sometime earlier this summer there was a fire in the old campground out on the former naval air station, where I walk the pups. The kids sometimes party [...]
Drifting Loose

The boat first appeared in late spring. With the battered economy, perhaps its owner had abandoned it, and it had drifted into the boat ramp harbor, and there it sat, mired in the mud. I thought the angle was kind of arresting, so I took a few pictures of it.
Where Have All the Pelicans Gone?
Posted in animals, birding, nature, walking on September 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Two years ago I used to see large squadrons of pelicans flying along the south shore of Alameda (and thus south along the eastern shore of SF Bay) most morning I went out there.

We’re getting ready to leave town, which means my life is once again a half-baked scramble to do a to-do list before it to-does to me.
Hello, Molly

We have a new addition to the household.
A hike up a hill

A few years ago, a friend and coworker of mine told us of a nice place to go for a walk up near Sonora, called Table mountain. Table mountain is a mesa, and just below the ridgeline there is a nice trail, through a pasture.
