I suppose the philosophy of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" is a bit fatalistic and untrue to one's soul, but when it comes to sun-versus-fog we photogs have got to sort of "roll with the punches" and "eat what is on our plate".

Hawk Hill is the highest point in the area overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and you guessed it--is home to Hawks. Also Ravens, Turkey-Vultures, seagulls, and probably every other kind of bird I can't name.

The ferns seemed most happy in the moist air.

And normally gloomy, the moss-covered pines were almost inviting.

Really especially like the first picture Don. Its full of mystery.
Don't miss the fog but it sure makes beautiful photos.

Yes, inviting. All beautiful - LOVE these. I feel I know what it smells like there, especially when I see that gorgeous moss.
