It feels like spring! Perhaps it is.

And the plum trees exploded with flowers (31 January 2026)
...and my many friends believe they are cherry blossoms... They are similar! But the timing is wrong. (The local sequence really is: plum trees with purple leaves, then plum trees with green leaves, then single cherries, than double cherries.)
Skies above the bay, and often the bridge (29 January 2026)
Still surprised tugboats aren't called pushboats or shoveboats.

As warm as a summer day
These flowers aren't harbingers of spring, but the intensity of their colors suggests many seasons.
Early camellia time, too
The time has come... The most geometric versions weren't yet visible, but this means they'll come soon!
Magnolia time (early and pink)
The warm weather has brought this tree to bloom. Fans gathered around, thrilled not just by the abundant bloom, but also that a few branches are low enough to really examine the enormous flowers up close.
(Note that most of the other magnolias are just starting up, or remain covered in fuzzy buds.)
Saturday in the Park
You're singing it too, sorry…
It is the sort of warm day that reminds me of how California is advertised.

Wet Hawk (11 January 2026)
The hawk was on a fencepost, and then, quite suddenly, the hawk was in the water, standing on a submerged rock, near a group of rather agitated ducks. I'm still unsure how intentional the hawk's landing was... The ducks got louder and edged closer; the hawk retreated into the reeds. It was... novel.
Saturday Afternoon, Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach (10 January 2026)
Good weather and a pleasant walk with A!
