Here in Marin we are proud of our beloved Mount Tamalpais (Tam-al-pi'-us). Some folks believe that the mountain embodies the essence of Tamalpa, the spirit of an ancient Indian goddess.
These Scouring Rushes are commonly known as Horsetails, but I think they resemble Bamboo. They got the name of Scouring Rushes because their stems contain large amounts of Silica -- gather a handful, cut the ends flat, and you've got something that'll work great for scouring pots and pans.

No better place for observing the advancing marine layer of fog. And no shortage of fog this time of year -- it pulls back in the morning only to charge back in later in the day.
