Shots from my daily commute.

Winter arrangement

The warmish, hazy days around the Bay Area continue to be uninspiring. The lack of wind has left a persistent, LA-like brownish haze over the bay. It’s the middle of December, and during the daylight hours, except for being ten degrees cooler in temperature, it seems like the middle of October. So… I’m going close-up, and using my iPhone more because it’s handy. This image is of the remnants of what was a much more elaborate flower arrangement in the kitchen area of our office.

The old oak says

These days in coastal Northern California it’s well into December before we begin to feel a real season change. I say “these days” because not so long ago it would start to get cold in early November. Regardless of the changing climate, the old, deciduous oaks continue to drop their leaves more or less on schedule–and that means winter is coming.

Yet another bridge shot

Today is the beginning of my Thanksgiving week off. Woo hoo! I didn’t stop during the commute so here’s a shot I took yesterday of the Golden Gate Bridge. I titled the post “yet another bridge shot” because I cross it twice every work day and consequently have captured hundreds of images of it.
