In month 5 of the Coronavirus “lockdown” and the distressing and divisive election season, we are drawn more and more to walking- and running-spots located near our corner of San Francisco Bay.

It’s both soothing and inspiring to be able to watch the birds (and other people watching the birds), and listen to the song of the wind and the lapping of the water against the shore.

These photos were taken recently (August 2020) at Shoreline Park and Nature Preserve in Mountain View, California.
