Morning fog dissipates above wildflower-covered California hills.

On this Easter Sunday morning, here in the San Francisco Bay Area it is gray and gloomy, with drizzle falling. I have just returned from my morning “socially-distance” walk around the neighborhood, and few people are to be seen. Normally I like weather like this, but today it reminded me how much life has changed in the past month, and that it will likely not return to the old normal for quite a while. Returning home, I decided to engage in a bit more “virtual spring” escapism and share this photograph.

At about this time a year ago I was out and about. I spent some time in this area on my way to Death Valley, and I made a second, shorter trip, too. On this morning I took a drive down a wide flower-filled valley between hills as morning fog cleared, stopping whenever and wherever I felt like it, enjoying the sun’s warmth, and making photographs.

  1. I think I’m logged in all the time, maybe I should sign out and sign back in and see if that works. Oh well even if I can’t hit the like button you know that we like them!

  2. Happy Easter!

    FYI…last few days I haven’t been able to ‘like’ your posts….the button disappeared!!

    1. Hmmm… I’m not quite sure what happened, though the software that supports this website was updated. It is possible that this now only works for people who are logged in on wordpress.com.
