Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Bike Trial

I thought the highlight of my commute might be making it to work without a leaky leftover mess in my bag (Chinese takeout, yum). But mother nature wins again with a red tail hawk staring down from the wires above. The first time I saw this guy a few months back, I excitedly pointed him out to a passerby. The guy was unimpressed, numb to splendor. "Yeah, he is there all the time". Ill be keep looking up.

A red tail hawk flying up and over. The yellow talons, the checkered tail feathers, the brown and white stripe under feather. A couple of deer - maybe a deer couple. Buck on the right side, doe on the other side of the road. The pinking sky as the sunset on the bridges. The leaves, crunching on the road.

I should stop and record or, at least, consider the objects shed on the roadway - intentional and otherwise. In the intentional bucket any number of: beer cans and bottles - especially 40 oz containers, especially in groups hard seltzers fast food bags broken glass bits of cars cigarette butts I saw a perfectly good onion rolling down the road once without a farmer's market in sight. I wonder if someone is still looking for it.
