We're in the rainy season here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We've had some intense downpours, but haven't heard the term "atmospheric rivers" much this year. (Last year was a different story). The downpours have been punctuated with bright sunny stretches, so we get periodic relief from gray skies and rain.

| Bishop Lake from the safety of an umbrella |
Despite the gray gloom, drizzly days provide a lot of beauty. I relish my afternoon walks around Bishop Lake under an umbrella. There is so much to experience. The air is fresh and invigorating, the color palette is soft and muted, and plants are in their dormant state.

| Bishop Lake in winter |
The lake attracts local and migrating birds. Herons stand majestically by the shore, songbirds flit among the shrubs feasting on insects and berries, and waterfowl float on the lake in groups. After a brisk and meditative walk it's back to work with renewed vigor and fresh ideas!
