Morning observations

It was a a grey morning. I could hear the call of a housefinch, robin, and hummingbird as i left for a misty drive with the windshield wiper on intermittent and a crawl along 101.

In a median strip, i noticed rosemary and lavender blooming. Upon closer inspection, as i waited for the light to turn, i noticed a creeping succulent ground cover that had bright pink-red buds. The leaves of daylilly plants were covered with beads of water, like rhinestone encrusted costumes.

The water feature at work had a good sized flock of gulls, a coot, and a grebe. In the distance the telescopic neck of a cormorant lead the point of a V-shaped wake.
