Winter rains and marsh wetlands
Makes the last reminder of spring

Winter rains and marsh wetlands
Makes the last reminder of spring

The august doldrums
weather copying daily
create wonderment

Alviso Slough Trail at the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge in San Jose
The gentle wind
The silent waves
The morning sun
The wildlife refuge

A January day
clouds forming
rain forthcoming

The colors and patterns of the salt evaporation ponds are caused by Micro-organisms combined with the seasonal changes and the salinity of the water. It’s rare to see the same tapestry of colors and designs every year.

You never know how to catch nature.
It’s often so unpredictable and mysterious.
But when you can it’s very rewarding.
Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in San Jose

The summer heat wave
Created unusual colors
But the people suffered
Good often comes with bad

Weeks without rain
Ponds are drying
Days are longer
Spring in transit

Patterns of nature
How are they made?
Is it circumstance?
The ultimate question

It takes a moment
While the heron waits
To catch a meal
Great Blue Heron
