Spent the night up here last night (though this photo is from July, the view was the same: sunny, high 70s, clear starry night, woke up to see a puffy blanket of fog blanketing the city and the ocean!)
Saw hawks, red hawks, many small brown and russet-coloured lizards, two animals that visited our camp late in the evening (pointy ears, loud footsteps – fox, or coyote?), gnats, a small brown snake in the middle of the road that I shooed away just in time, a large brown lizard with a broken-off tail, also in the middle of the road. Laurel or bay, lots of pine and fir trees, the summer triangle still visible up above (reminding me how little I ever see the stars in foggy San Francisco).
