    A flower a day ...

    Some of these photos have been shared before but thinking about my friend @hawkdon and reminiscing about my more active times makes me want to go here again. It has been a while but it used to be a common occurrence for me to drive to Fort Funston beach in San Francisco, early enough to see...
