I've been visiting with my son and daughter-in-law in Fairfax, California for the last few weeks. Last night was the first time I saw rain. With an overcast sky, today was the first day without bright sunshine, and a perfect day for an outing to Point. Reyes which is celebrating its 50th year as a National Treasure.
The cliffs at Point Reyes on which an old light house is perched has some of the most extreme weather conditions in the country. One hundred and thirty-three mile an hour winds crash against its 50 million year old unforgiving and craggy terrain.
Colors are often more brilliant in
overcast light so admiring the soggy lush mosses and the hearty bright
red-orange lichens was a great treat today.
This huge market that operates year round on the grounds of Frank Lloyd Wright's last commission, the Marin County Civic Center, boasts tent after tent of fresh organic produce and everything from pig parts to freshly smoked salmon.
