Waiting for Rain

 

Ocean Beach Esplanade

It's after 3 p.m., and I'm still waiting for our "80 percent chance of rain after 2 p.m." I do like the rain at times, especially if I've already enjoyed a long walk and a bike ride on the beautiful morning that precedes it. 

I probably should have set the Sutro Tower timelapse (below) to run while I was on my bike, but I thought I had more time before the clouds would blot out the blue sky. Between the time I snapped a photo of Golden Gate Park's newly rehabilitated Middle Lake slowing filling up with water from the adjacent casting pools, and the short time later that I snapped the beach view toward Mt. Tam above, the sky had mostly filled up with clouds.

Nevertheless, I captured a timelapse once I got home, in part to add an audio track using my new Fender Mustang Micro amp -- a guitar amplifier that is literally 1.5 inches by 3 inches in size (the sound only plays in your headphones). I also had to download free recording software called Audacity. 

It's a new world. I have not been keeping up with digital music devices over the years and am looking forward to exploring the possibilities.


Someone parked their zoo on 10th Avenue today.


Two years of construction is finally coming to an end at Middle Lake, and water is slowly filling it up. It's not open yet, and I only got this phone snap because a gate had been briefly left open and unattended. For scale, those are two Canada geese inside the red circle.
