Later in the day a few clouds appeared on the horizon and I headed out, again, to the sunflower fields. Unfortunately as the sunlight waned the clouds thinned even faster. There was just enough color in the sky to make an acceptable shot.
The drive back into town made the trip worth it. A local great horned owl had found a nice perch along F St.
Sunday Mir and I headed down to Marin to check out a small waterfall that fell onto the beach and into the ocean. The exit for that hike happened to be the same exit for Stinson beach. After sitting in traffic for 5 minutes only to move a couple hundred feet we gave up (I'm fine hiking a couple hours to see a waterfall but 5 minutes in traffic practically destroys me) Golden Gate park was option no. 2. Looking for the first uncrowded place to pull over we happened upon a trail down to a nice black sand beach. While we're both appreciative of the beauty in nature this beach was a little too au natural for us. Mir, with the help of an unexpectedly large wave, did get in the spirit of the beach for a while as she let her jeans dry.
Deciding to skip the unmarked beaches we followed signs down to Rodeo Beach on the ocean side of the park. This one was more family friendly and had some nice rock formations along the beach. Mir on a big rock looking for sea creatures.
and a nice set of rocks that I'm going to have to come back an visit on a clearer day at low tide.
