When it's too windy and cold to go to the beach, sometimes we go to the polo field (below). It's in Golden Gate Park. It's surrounded by eucalyptus trees which not only stop the wind, but smell really good. This evening I was jogging on the dirt road that runs around the top of the field. I looked over, and there was this huge blue bird observing the soccer game! He let me get really close. But when the man on the bike rode up, the bird flew away. The man on the bike stopped and apologized to me for making the bird fly away.
