Bert's lunchtime
 |
Sometimes during the week after I eat
my lunch I go out for a walk to get some air and clear my head. Since
the office is less than a mile from the San Francisco Bay, that tends to be
a favorite destination. A cloudy sky can make dramatic pictures, here's the
San Mateo Bridge as it curves towards the East Bay. |
 |
It's always windy out there and I have noticed the
gulls catching the breeze and hanging in mid-air without flapping their
wings. It's hard to take their picture without getting bombarded! |
 |
Suddenly this guy came walking past me
carrying a giant wing - at least that's what it looked like to me. |
 |
I stayed to watch what he was going to do, and soon he
was "flying" across the water of the Bay. |
 |
After a while, another joined him, staying closer to
the Bridge. |
 |
Then a third came out from the little
beach near shore. |
 |
When they saw that I was taking pictures, they started
doing tricks right in front of me. This guy looks like he is higher
than the office building, but he is about thirty feet off the top of the
water. |
 |
Too soon, it was time to go back to work, my head was
cleared out, my camera had over 100 pictures but they didn't seem to notice! |
