Baylands
On Sunday D. and I visited the
Baylands, and here are some of the pics I took.
A view of the salt marsh at the edge of San Francisco Bay.
It's high tide.
A Pilatus plane approaches nearby Palo Alto Airport to land.
A golden-crowned sparrow perches in a gumplant in search of insects to eat.
Sage seed heads are like abstract sculptures.
A couple of views of Mayfield Slough.
A turkey vulture soars overhead.
Saltbush leaves catch the late afternoon sunlight.
Saltbush flowers are brilliant crimson.
Two more small planes come in to land at the airport, a Quest Kodiak and a Cessna Skyhawk.
Black-necked stilts and gulls hang out in the slough.
