magical light

i'm in a fabulous mood tonight. maybe it was last nights magical sunset, with the birds in the background, maybe it was the fact that i've gotten to walk a lot in the past couple days, maybe it's the luscious warm sunny weather we are having, maybe it's cause the kids at Moscone were fun today -- i didn't have to struggle to hard with them to work today --, maybe it's just the right chemical balance i've hit today.

whatever it is it feels good, and it will be fun to talk to liz tonight when she returns with stories of manatees and shell searching on florida beaches.

ahhh the fog.

the fog was coming in on my way to a Exploratorium focus group the other day. amazing to watch

i love my san francisco

i walked to meet a friend today. my bike had a flat and I felt I needed the exercise and besides, the weather has been amazing. nice and warm, sunny, with the most amazing sunsets... the clouds all whispy and stretched across the sky, white paint brushed in thin streaks across the sky, white turning to a deep orange as the sun sets behind the twin peaks fog.

the most amazing thing today though was the birds at the metreon. i'd noticed them a couple times in the past month gathering in the trees of yerba buena gardens, chattering away madly. here today though there were thousands wheeling through the sky, different flocks shifting back and forth, melding, dividing. The edges of the Loews theater were lined with the birds, chirping away framed against the sides.

the weird thing was that I felt, besides another couple I was the only one looking. most people walked on by heads down, not caring. How couldn't they? I thought. How could they just ignore this amazing thing happening above their heads?

anyway, so i walked home as well. walking does wonders for me, puts me in the best of moods, makes me reflect, observe, see a little deeper. when I am the most awake perhaps...
