Thanks for your great comment! I have asked around, but I have not found out yet the exact genus and species of the grass. I thought it was so effective here. The shaggy tecture looked great and used en masse it tied the fort's buildings together, I also liked the simplicity of it in this location. With only few plants such as the cypress, eucalyptus and grass, it was quite powerful. How fun that you biked through here! Thank you so much for your kind words!All the best to you this holiday! Best regards, Philip Hi Anne!

I was jazzed to see a new post by you, and what a terrific one! I used to ride my bike across the bridge through Fort Baker en route to Sausalito, and then of course did lots of walking in the Headlands once we moved to Larkspur. You've put together a fantastic combination of photos and history -- love the stuff about the light house family! It brings history to life. It was also interesting to see what looks like grama grass around the Ft. Baker houses... very gratifying, if they are indeed substituting native grasses for lawn. Thanks again for your gracious comments on my site, and I wish you a very happy holiday season and lots of fun hiking! Hi Phillip! I was jazzed to see a new post by you, and what a terrific one!

I loved it as well. It is no surprise to me that you would paint as your garden reveals your ability to blend balance and color. Loved the story about the little girl coming back to her lighthouse home. Her mom was lonely but she was not. There are about 10 more post just in this one today. I could ask so many more questions. Fascinating how you think--just fascinating and with so much appreciation on your part of all that is around you. I did see the movie…Girl with the pearl earring. I loved it as well.

As usual, reading your blog is like walking through a journal of my past--but with so much more detail and exploration! Having lived on the south end of Sausalito for many years all of this is so familiar, my old haunts. The sheer thought of it is enough to make me swoon. :) Part of this post had me singing Kate Wolf's old song, which I hope I quote correctly... The red tailed hawk writes songs across the sky There's music in the waters flowing by And I can hear a song each time the wind blows In the golden rolling hills of California Good morning, Philip!

Yay! :) I loved your comment! I am glad you mentioned the oils. I painted a little, and I love the oil paint names. Did you see the movie, "The girl with the pearl earring"? In that movie they show the creation of these colors from minerals and other materials...all so interesting.Dorothy dangling over the cliff! I asked my friend Ric what was his favorite part of the post and he said that was! It is quite an image. I want to know more, too. I saw a film once about lighthouses and their families. A woman returned to her isolated lighthouse home where she spent her childhood. She said she was not lonely, but her mother was. She found the rocky outcrop where she used to play house, and was moved when she found the hollow in the rock that she pretended was her stove. This lighthouse at Point Bonita is normally very damp and foggy! Thanks Anna! :) Philip Anna!
