Added: [desciption] TCHO as the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
(I also PhotoShop’d the picture to enhance the edges. So sue me.) Check the links below.

Deluge this afternoon. Havoc reigned.

Took a handful of pictures of Treasure Island tonight. The setting sun drifting across the eastern clouds was reason enough.

The spinning Ferris wheel on the island frosted the cake.

Fog bank. Fog bank. Storm clouds. Sun.

Some people collect cats. I collect clouds.

A series of pictures (untweaked in the slightest) of the fog banks out the window 2 1/2 hrs ago. The clouds have since changed shape and dissipated some. The sun has been shining here throughout.

TWO banks of fog with a topper of storm clouds in the east, toward Berkeley.

Weird.

Sunshiney here. Slight breeze.

‘twixt me and Yerba Buena Island, though? A belt of fog.

The PhotoShop wizard who was visiting from Up North last weekend gave me a quick walk through some features I didn’t know how to use. Crystal Ball sez: I see a deep time sink in your future.

But that was then. Five hours later finds the sun shining and the washing machine whirring. Friends expected around 6-ish for dinner and conversation.

The tidal bore, sailboats, Treasure Island, and the Berkeley campus in the background. A peaceful day.
