Night and life

   I was sitting in my car near the beach, when I saw something moving. As it neared a light, I realized that it was a striped skunk. I looked for it but could not find it, so I took a few pictures, hoping that the flash would reveal it. Still outside of my vision, I know that there is life there in the darkness.

I am often fascinated by activities which point to the life that I do not experience directly.

The island

I took this picture from China Camp State Park, in San Rafael, California. It looks both

peaceful and lonely to me. At times, I think that the two must necessarily go together.

Fog, dusk, and the end of my work week.

The convergence of marine layer, time of day and me. I had just left work when I took this picture, and was tired from the week. The weather and light seemed to both illustrate and justify my internal state.
