But for early Spring
Hidden beneath sage and scrub
A birds-eye bounty

December Fog bound
Cliffs crumbling To cold sea and
sand dusted updrafts

Happy New Year from a pretty damp morning dog walk and very high tide at Fort Funston.

a high tide may clear
this beach or leave it littered
eroded cliff washed
to horizon may return
sand rests in tomorrow’s waves

Whales are swimming south
Singing of steely hunters, hard

between sea and cliff,
tumbling into wet, I find
a crackled bottle
with paper inside reading
“better watch the waves”

Glimmer, splash, spray, spout
Scanning cold surf’s cresting waves
As life emerges out

Each reflecting surf, sea, and sky, each a galaxy turning from jelly to cellulose
A beach line full of them

An oft-missed photographic location in San Francisco is on the city's northwestern edge at the former #FortFunston. Part of it is now privatized; the rest is part of the Golden Gate Nat'l Recreation Airport which rims much of SF Bay. This was my vantage point.
