Memories

Recognizing I was going to need to delete some photos or pay more for storage, I settled into what I expected to be a small task, perhaps an hour or so, but then I began.  I had around 36,000 photos, starting in 2006.  I started slowly, and then began to build. I’ve now deleted 6,541 photos and 50 videos.  I see that I probably have more photos of Great Blue Herons, Egrets, and Rodeo Beach than anyone on the planet.  My grandson is also a well-photographed treasure trove.  In February, 2023, I resided on a houseboat in Sausalito.  That’s where I really got into taking photos.  It was a small boat and at low tide, the egrets and herons could walk around it, so I would walk around the outside of the boat following them and taking pictures. Mt. Tam was also a favorite.  On February 24th it snowed on Mt. Tam, a rare event, and naturally I have photos to re-visit.

Mt. Tam drifted with snow February 24, 2023.
And then more snow with fog rising up in greeting.

Above the Fog

I love the fog but today, after my dentist’s appointment, I needed summer warmth and smells so I drove to the top of Mt. Tam. 

Looking West
The ocean lies hidden below and beyond the hills
Switchbacks on the path coming up from the south

Looking East, Mt. Diablo rises from the fog
A wider view looking East
Lake Lagunitas to the North
Looking In – a vein of Quartz
