eyes open

When I got home from yoga class and the grocery store yesterday, there was a helicopter hovering over my neighborhood. Uh-oh! This immediately made me nervous because there had been a shooting in the neighborhood just last week and I was afraid that the helicopter was looking for a criminal! I pulled into the driveway and saw that the helicopter was actually hovering over the marsh that is right next to the walking path that runs alongside the neighborhood and the San Francisco Bay. I quickly unloaded my groceries, grabbed my camera and headed back outside. Here is what I saw...

These power towers are set throughout the marsh. It's a bit unnerving to walk near them - there is an audible hum coming from them.

There must have been a need for some kind of maintenance. The helicopter was bringing large objects and lowering them to the workmen on the tower. This went on most of the afternoon.

This is a job I would NOT want!

A couple neighbors discussing the what was going on.

 

On the walk back to the house I couldn't help but admire a neighbor's garden.

This beauty is in MY garden, but I don't know where it came from - I didn't plant it there!

Quite a lot going on in my neighborhood yesterday - amazing what you see if you keep your eyes open!
