“The Chase” came to me after a walk around Lake Merced. No, there is not some evolutionary happenings at the lake that I know of, but I saw a cormorant dive into the water a had a mind picture of primordial times when a bird dove in to the water and chased a fish, who sensing danger, had it fins turn into wings just in time to take flight.
