Clouds

Wispy streams of white and gray flowing slowly, softly on the cool breeze. So unlike the dynamic shapes of the clouds in Boston and Chicago, these are more subtle, requiring more imagination to fit into definitive mythical shapes.
Wraiths and ghosts are not too tough but not as whimsical as a penis devouring a dragon. Perhaps when the weather warms in September the clouds will get more defined.
The fog rolls in overnight to cover the whole city, sometimes the whole area. Above the fog, from Mount Tamalpais, the low down cloud of fog is revealed. The sun shines on Tamalpais but not on Golden Gate Park or Twin Peaks or The Mission. The East Bay clears first, then east of Twin Peaks is bathed in sunlight. Golden Gate Park must wait, but today the fog recedes out to the ocean and seems to wait for it's chance to return.
