I know… it’s another Bay Area sunset as seen from my mom’s deck…

What can I say? I like sunsets. I like my mom’s deck. I like my mom. I like trees and sky. I like earth and water. I like colors.

And now, another gratuitous post of Bay Area sunset photos…

Ha! That’s an artsy one. That is taken through the leaves of that old plum tree on the top level of my mom’s backyard. You can see little wisps of fog creeping in over the bay, the same fog that … Continue reading

Because I liked the way that first picture of San Francisco turned out, I decided to do one of Lombard Street… which, I suppose, would make it the world’s twistiest boat ramp? It is interesting to note that this photo, … Continue reading

It’s time to say goodbye to the Bay Area… wait, I mean, me, not you… you still have a bunch of pictures to look at…

Goodbye, San Francisco… I will miss you, as always. Goodbye, Golden Gate… it is time once again for that long drive through California’s central valley, then the slog through Los Angeles and the annoying traffic… just to get to San … Continue reading

That first photo might be the most San Franciscoey picture ever taken…

Or would that be: ‘the most San Franciscoish?’ That photo was taken from inside a cable car… (note the dangling Christmas ornament, top left)… and is of a VW bus… (that is painted in tie dye, and is taking tourists … Continue reading

Bye bye, Golden Gate…

Wait, the title of the post is misleading. We aren’t leaving yet… Although Big Johnny, Eva, and Willie did leave today, ironically to go to San Diego to see John’s mom. Remember, he as a childhood friend of my wife’s. … Continue reading

I took these when we went up to the science museum yesterday… Yes! Very good! This is the same spot I came with my mom, and took the photos of the awesome sunset, the last time I was in the … Continue reading
