Cooling Off

As a way to clear my head and reduce the ire that came up regarding a never ending problem at work, I took a step outside to Crissy Field. One of my favorite spots in San Francisco, I feel pretty lucky to work within walking distance of the bay-front park that overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge. It's shocking how little I go there despite its proximity but, today I took advantage of the break in showers and enjoyed the great outdoors.

As I came out from under the overpass leading to the water, I saw the kites flying high above their respective kite boards. It was a perfect day for this activity since the wind was blowing...hard. As I crossed Doyle Drive, I saw the amazing great egrets fishing in the marsh (check out a great image by clicking on Great egret hunting). For some reason, egrets always make me think I'm going to have good luck! As I rounded the corner along the beach at Crissy Field, a tourist was snapping a fabulous photgraph of a dog-walker surrounded by no less than 7 dogs with Alcatraz as backdrop. It would have been great if I'd brought my camera! As I started to return to work, I turned and noticed a lone palm standing as though it were victorious in its goal to be the last one standing. So out of place and yet so natural.

Ahhh. I feel better already.
