July 25, 2020 — San Gregorio Bluffs, San Mateo County, California.

What light through yonder fog bank glows?

A different take on my trip to San Gregorio.

(Back to reality. Sort of.)

Up very early this morning, since two, and this is a treat for tired eyes. Such a peaceful image with the soft glow upon the water.

Objective reality is overrated, in my humble opinion. Sometimes it is better to simply create your own reality.

The next words, “It is the east,” don’t seem to fit the California coastline, where the ocean is to the west pf the land.

    Sooth, which is truth, has grown long in the tooth (kinda like the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain).
