Round about early mid-morning, with the sun behind, with surrounding vegetation illuminated but creek still not -- colorful things can happen on the ripply surface of water...

China Camp

China Camp is an historic shrimping village on the sleepy banks of San Pablo Bay, the upper thumb of San Francisco Bay.   The little cafe is seldom open, and the visitor center might be open, but don't expect any attending docent.

You may run into China Camp's only remaining resident, Frank Quan.   Say hello -- you will be speaking to a genuine and living relic of Marin County history...

Sunday morning I thought all the "fireworks" would be happening down towards the Golden Gate Bridge, but a huge fog bank wasn't cooperating so I made a hasty retreat to the north-east side of Mt. Tamalpais.   This is the appropriately named, Alpine Dam.   It's one of five man-made lakes that provide water for Marin County.

Kitty

Yes folks, this is Kitty...   The love of my life...   The Alpha and the Omega...   The feline for whom I would walk barefoot across hot coals for the privilege of caressing her head while saying something soft -- like, "What a good Kitty"...

Yes folks, this is the "Golden Gate" -- the entrance to San Francisco Bay.
Boat captains sometimes call this area of water the "potato patch" -- the mixing of tides churns up the water.   Shots taken from the Point Bonita area.

slow creek

The Lagunitas Creek can usually count on at least one major storm each year, and the deluge usually comes just after New Year's.   It's the signal for the two year old Coho Salmon to return to their birthplace and start the life process all over again.   The salmon are protected, and the experts are always running studies, but their numbers keep diminishing.

As you may have heard, on April 10 commercial and recreational salmon fishing was banned for the season along the coast of California and most of Oregon.

LATE ADDITION:
The shot above is from seven days ago, and lower shot is from this morning.
Kind of interesting (at least to me) how similar they are.
