I am back in San Diego now. I did my ‘getting up obscenely early to beat the traffic in the Bay Area and Los Angeles’ thing, so I have a few more photos of that to share tomorrow, as well as some funny animal pictures I took.

Here are four photos I took from my mom’s deck overlooking the San Francisco bay. Two were taken on one night, and two on another night. I mixed them up, so even I don’t know which are which.

You may have been wondering why all the photos taken from the house where I grew up tend to look similar.

It is because of the stupid power and phone lines. That and the fact that there are lots of trees… including the big oak in my mom’s front yard, all covered with a huge Cecil Brunner  rose bush, that block most of the view of the bay. So I usually use a zoom lens and shoot under the wires and over the trees and house roofs.
