Stuff we have seen on short walks around the neighborhood in the San Francisco Bay Area where I grew up and where we are celebrating late Christmas…

Well, yeah, we saw San Francisco, over across the bay. A red-tailed hawk. The moon. Some yard art. A cool art house that has been like that for years. The lady who lives there is as interesting as her house … Continue reading →

The very last photos from my recent adventure in the San Francisco Bay Area…

Posted on November 14, 2020 by pouringmyartout

Like the journey itself, the photos must come to an end sometime. Hopefully, I will make it back there for Christmas… one way or another. The city was shy most of that week. I still don’t know how much of … Continue reading →

I will have a post or two of the sunset photos I took from the Berkeley Hills, of the sun setting over San Francisco. And some pictures of the city itself. I don’t know what those are called. Cat Tails? … Continue reading →

More random photos from my long drive in a motor home to socially-distant visit my 97-year-old-mom in the San Francisco Bay Area, so we can wrap this thing up…

A turkey taking a walk. A weird squirrel I met in the Berkeley Rose garden… what does he have in his mouth? It looks like the stuffing from a plush animal doll. Is he building a nest? Is he a … Continue reading →

Some perks of driving 500 miles in a motor home to visit my 97-year-old mother at the house in the Bay Area where I grew up, in a socially-distant, responsible manner… I mean the visit, not me when I was growing up, I was perhaps socially-distant, but no way was I ever responsible…

So I borrowed my mother-in-law’s motor home to visit my mom. Is that weird? Also, is it weird that for a 60-year-old guy my legs are still so sexy? First perk; Dew-speckled roses in the morning. Sorry, I know you … Continue reading →

Let’s try that again without the depressing commentary…

Posted on October 22, 2020 by pouringmyartout

Because the day was lovely. And the world is still chugging along. The pelicans were practicing their formation flying. A cormorant was diving for fish. The Golden Gate was very golden. The sunset was nice. San Francisco Bay was majestic. … Continue reading →

Ramblings on modern life, accompanied by photos I took of the San Francisco bay, while petting lots of dogs at the dog park because I miss my dogs when I come to the Bay Area to visit my mom…
