West Marin Photo of the Day

From the Red Hill area.

Ready to install.

One of a number of sea birds that winter over in Tomales bay. Others include Coots, Buffleheads, Scoters, Loons, and many more types of waterfowl.

For Jim's I 110.

But there was plenty of "squeegee effect" drizzle.

Double Point in the distant right and Bolinas Point faintly in the far right.

Heading out to The Point.

I'm sure you can see why it's called that in this photo. This view is from Drakes Beach, yesterdays Raven is right behind me. Left click once to enlarge.

He's actually waiting for handouts outside the cafe. You will find really good blue cheese burgers and garlic fries at the Drakes Beach Cafe.

After a six mile hike (some of us were chafing a bit).

We watched while the fisherman ran a string of crab pots and now he's heading South, maybe to pull more pots.

Some interior views Exterior And for scale, the entrance is around the corner to her left.

To Halleck Creek Stables, who cater to special needs children and young adults. The smiles you see on downs syndrome kids while they're riding is something else, we went to donate some old "horse stuff". I would have taken more photos but I didn't want to make anybody self conscious.

Driftwood house on South Beach.

The addition to Toad Hall.

High surf advisory, not a good time to be down by the water with your back to the ocean. A couple people a year are washed away.

At Pierce Point Ranch.

Once the home of Vilicich family originally from Yugoslavia. They lived there for a number of years before moving, houses and all, across the bay to Marshall. There still remnants of a chimney here at Whites Gulch. The family opened Marshall Boat Works and were successfuly building and repairing boats for many years.

As it empties into Tomales Bay. Looking East ftom Pierce Point.

With mooring pilings for small boats during the summer.

From Tomales Point, with Lawson's Landing and the sand dune.
