Rode out to the bayshore at sunrise, snowy egrets skimming the water's surface and a solar halo above the fog.

Noyo

Drove to Fort Bragg, first time for me on Mendocino Coast it wasn't totally fogged in. On the bluffs you can see sea lions in Noyo Harbor, gulls and vultures circling overhead, attracted to the fishing boats, like some scene from one of those frozen-in-time Taiwanese port towns.

Building a Nest

A pair of young scrub jays are building a nest in the blue potato bush, which had been pruned last winter, but has now already grown back, with purple flowers in bloom.

Cold wind’s picking up the sky

The Hawk and the Crow

This morning, as the sun rises, such that anything its slanted rays touch seems made of solid light, a red-tailed hawk is perched on a playground basketball court backboard.
