I’d lived in the East Bay for 20 years without knowing we had shipwrecks - now I’ve located two in two years!

After atmospheric rivers, a new sandbar appeared under Cayucos pier

The Grenas house near Furnas, overtaken by vines and decay, but still beautiful inside and out.

“As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti…”

I remember the first time I let him wander away from me

Had a warm and wonderful conversation with one of my personal heroes last night!

A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean. – The Lorax

When I stepped out of the car at Tiburon the wind was whipping and I felt underdressed for Thomas Jackson’s “Collaborative Nature” exhibit. Half a mile later, I was grateful for the wind - the installation would have been lifeless without it. An acre or two of taffetta windsocks on flexible wire poles, stood up on a point at the water's edge.

Training hike at Alhambra Valley, before Ventana last March

“I find that in contemplating the natural world, my pleasure is greater if there are not too many others contemplating it with me at the same time.” -Edward Abbey

Morro Rock last November

Fern Creek Trail, Muir Woods (Mt. Tamalpais)

Mt. Tam is the largest mountain in the Bay Area, standing tall over the Pacific Ocean with incredible views. But the forests surrounding it, including the famous John Muir Woods, are a tangle of trails moving through gorgeous redwoods, creeks, fallen logs.

This is a shot of one formerly great redwood, fallen when its roots got loose in a storm probably. Over time, its roots were overtaken by forest moss. At first I didn't think I'd be able to capture it in the dull valley light, but then a few rays poked through just as we were saying goodbye to it, and this one sort of worked out.

Over on Mastodon, there’s a trend where people post images of moss and add hashtag #mosstodon. Not sure that will work here :)
