There's nothing as dark as a cloud that crosses the moon.

I've seen similar skies during full moon in July many other years. But not every year.

When it's cold and windy outside, many people wear coats. However, some do not. For instance the woman in a striped halter top and shorts I saw jogging through the Viewpoint yesterday. Sadly, she circumvented my camera. I don't think it was intentional.

At the moment, it's raining, and there's a fair amount of fog. I hear a siren in the distance. It looks like it's going to be overcast for a few days.

I took my cousin's photo at the Viewpoint today. It was quite a warm day, and very clear, but we agreed that it may be one of the last of these.

Warmer Today

Today is definitely warmer than yesterday. I see less of the purplish, or lavender, hue in the air. There were four people at the Viewpoint when I dropped by today--all men in the range of about forty-five to fifty-five. They just sat and stared into the distance most of the time--or smoked. I took a few photos, using my tripod.

Around the bay there was a little red in the leaves on some of the trees, and I observed a somewhat hazy and slightly lavender quality in the colors in this area. I saw a friend walking his small white dog and another on the way home from work. Several joggers passed through in the few minutes that I was at the Viewpoint. I took a number of photographs, but not one photo captured the essence of the place. As I've pointed out earlier, the problem is that when I take a shot that shows what an expanse the view encompasses, then the intriguing details are no longer visible. And when I focus on the details, the breadth of the view is no longer apparent.
