In the Bay Area, the race against the fog rolling in and blocking the view to the blood moon, lunar eclipse was on. Luckily, time was on our side as Karl the Fog was slow to roll in. Data: ISO 1600, f 7.1, 1/8 of a second exposure, Temperature 50° as seen from Walnut Creek, Ca.

Splash Zone at Fort Point in SF during the King Tides.

Was a little windy last night…

A River #Otter gives me the side eye as a raft makes their way across the waters in Contra Costa County.

On Veterans Day, a beacon is lit atop Mount Diablo to commemorate the day. This year, the Northern Lights painted the skies a light pink along side the mountain.

The first supermoon of the year made an appearance as the Harvest moon.

The season is upon us. A tarantula makes its way across a trail in the Walnut Creek Open Space.

#Lightning strikes in the East Bay near Mt. Diablo as captured from Walnut Creek.

A Great Horned Owl takes flight through the woods in search of a better perch to hunt from. #birds #owl #nature #canon

A Great Horned Owl waits in a tree, looking for its next meal to scurry across the leaf covered hillside in Walnut Creek. The owl’s hearing and eye sight is amazing as it silently zeroes in on a mouse.

A #dolphin was swimming back and forth along the surfline in Half Moon Bay in front of the Miramar Restaurant. It was such a gorgeous day Saturday.

Texas does put on a great light show through #lightning! #Amarillo and #Borger #Texas.

A squirrel was playing peek-a-boo with a Great Horned Owl in Walnut Creek, Ca. The squirrel was winning today’s battle.

I spy with my little eye, something brown… A Great Horned Owl yawning and assessing out whether I am a threat or just a silly photographer in the dry grass.

An adult Great-Horned Owl and its two babies hanging out at Shell Ridge in the Walnut Creek Open Space.

A gorgeously foggy morning in Avila as “polar bears” took to the oceans waters. The pier at the beach appears to be peering through a blanket of cotton haze as a fisherman awaits a nibble. Is that a fog bow?

A Red-tailed Hawk circles the nest and then returns with a captured rat to show the eyas.

A Bald #Eagle watches over her eaglet in their nest in the East Bay.

What an incredible sight! Gray #Whales feeding really close to shore near the Wave Organ sculpture in the Marina in #SF.

Gray Whales in the SF Bay, they are feeding so close to shore.

They are such a majestic bird to watch and wonder. At sunset, a Bald Eagle at the Lafayette Reservoir lands on a tree top before headed home.

What an amazing event to witness as a Bald #Eagle snaps up a meal from the Lafayette Reservoir.

Time for a nature break. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Incredible sequence as a Bald #Eagle launches for take off at the Lafayette Reservoir. Check out the 4th frame and see how flat the tail feathers work to stabilize the flight.

An American White Pelican does a fly by at the Lafayette Reservoir as a recent storm clears. The flock of pelicans were circling the waters taking advantage of the strong winds.

Let it snow, let it snow! Snow atop the Mt. Diablo range! 📍Walnut Creek, Ca. @SFBART #snow #mtdiablo #walnutcreek

Spotted a Bald Eagle on my hike last night. Spent about 10 minutes photographing it and decided to move 2 feet to the left and discovered its partner hanging out just below the tree line peeking out. It’s so amusing that the optical illusion makes the lower Bald Eagle look fake.

Amazing how a Bufflehead #duck launches into flight from the waters at the Lafayette Reservoir. #fly

Being “MacGyver” is how this couple stays dry on the streets of Walnut Creek during the recent #rains.

The pavement is wet. #Hydroplaning happens. It may not be #raining, but the pavement is slick. Reduce your speed. A 2 car crash with 1 person transported to the hospital on N680 near Ygnacio Valley Road off ramp according to California Highway Patrol.

A very bizarre and sad story of alleged murders with a cross country connection. Story picks up locally in Vallejo. Ca. abc7news.com/post/maximil...

The #moon is about to go to sleep as I rise and shine. Have a great day!

Shot a picture just to confirm I was looking at a tree stump at the Lafayette Rez. Well, it wasn’t a tree stump. #bobcat

Patience pays off. Was hoping for an exchange to happen between the two Bald Eagles. Was watching one #Eagle perched on a branch for about 35 minutes, would occasionally hear the other Bald Eagle call from a distance. All of a sudden, it happened. So lucky to witness and capture this moment.

Up close and personal with the Tower bridge in Sacramento. Always admired things with angles and bonus if shiny.

Spotted a colony of California #sea #lions hanging out on a dock in the #Sacramento River near Old Sac.

I think waxing #moons are just as beautiful if not more entrancing than full moons. Seen here at 10%.

time in sight exposed by light darkness colored now

Yes!

A Great Horned Owl scratching a hard to reach itch on its head. I was only able to find this neighborhood bird by following its hooting. Owl camouflage is incredible and makes it really difficult to spot these creatures.

This is why #Oakland rocks. A little downpour of #rain? No worries, my kid loves to swing in the atmospheric river.

On #Christmas eve, an amazing #rainbow seen from Lake Merritt in #Oakland. See the light, be the light, share the light.

The sky was on fire this morning. If you look very closely, Mt. Diablo is faintly in the picture enveloped by fog and orange sky.

Got mine running…

I spent an amazing afternoon tracking a Bald #Eagle in Contra Costa County. I focused on the #bird atop a branch as another eagle descended on it and they switched places. I felt very fortunate to be able to witness such an event. In one moment, a Black Crow attempted to shoo away the Bald Eagle.

A lone #Swan makes it way across the #Lafayette Reservoir in Contra Costa County. Did you know Swans mate for life?

I’m out of comments today…I’ll leave it up to you folks to find the words.
