In the Bay Area, the race against the fog rolling in and blocking the view to the blood moon, lunar eclipse was on. Luckily, time was on our side as Karl the Fog was slow to roll in. Data: ISO 1600, f 7.1, 1/8 of a second exposure, Temperature 50° as seen from Walnut Creek, Ca.

A Great Horned Owl waits in a tree, looking for its next meal to scurry across the leaf covered hillside in Walnut Creek. The owl’s hearing and eye sight is amazing as it silently zeroes in on a mouse.

A gorgeously foggy morning in Avila as “polar bears” took to the oceans waters. The pier at the beach appears to be peering through a blanket of cotton haze as a fisherman awaits a nibble. Is that a fog bow?

Spotted a Bald Eagle on my hike last night. Spent about 10 minutes photographing it and decided to move 2 feet to the left and discovered its partner hanging out just below the tree line peeking out. It’s so amusing that the optical illusion makes the lower Bald Eagle look fake.
