Wonders of the North Bay

A  L  O  H  A !
 Vallejo across San Pablo Bay

“What do you do there, 
moon, in the sky? 
Tell me what you 
do, silent moon. 
When evening comes you 
rise and go contemplating 
wastelands; then you set.” 
                                Giacomo Leopardi
















 Alcatrace (Pelican) Impersonates Pterodactyl

"A wonderful bird is the pelican, 
His bill will hold more 
than his belican, 
He can take in his beak 
Enough food for a week
 But I'm damned if I see 
how the helican!"
                        Dixon Lanier Merritt (1910)











Look!

She's DOING it!

"The rollin' hills seem 
to do something for you
It seems they're meant to be 
looked on by you
And when the sunshine 
is doing it's thing
Then you know that 
all you see is true
Every day every night the 
same old groovy feelin'
People that live a lot
 love a lot
And everything there 
is so good 

Look at California
Look at California"

    I adore pelicans. Yours are different to ours - but both are definitely prehistoric looking.

    I love the lights across the bay and the pelican, complete with limerick. The hills of California are quite different from Diamond Head, aren't they?

    The pelican stands out in particular. I've never seen one in the wild.

    Neat pictures! I thought the limerick was by Ogden Nash but I just checked and I was wrong.
