foggy morning

The sky outside my window was a beautiful bright blue and the sun was shining when I walked out this morning with my sunglasses on, ready for a good walk around the lake in the early morning sunshine. Exactly 6.5 minutes later, when I got to the lake, it was completely fogged in. The lake was, I was, everybody and everything else was too. It was kind of eerie.

Now it's sunny and clear again. What strange weather the winter brings in the Bay Area!

I saw this little guy (actually, he was quite large!) when I stopped to stretch and thought he was interesting enough to share (what is that bump on his beak?):
