So many weeks of fog and rain here that it still barely feels like summer, but the gray skies make for interesting reflections in the water.

Taking tonight off. Will be back at it tomorrow.

Always beautiful images. And your description of foggy days, so different from our Northern California heat and clear skies reminds me that we live in change. Changing climate, changing politics. And Poet Carl Sandburg’s simple poem, FOG, my students easily memorized, and had a name for the changing weather, the quiet fog that only hides what’s right in front of us.

FOG by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

in silent haunches

and then moves on.
