Okay, I am back to posting the photos of my recent San Francisco adventure in chronological order, just for a change. We have seen the sunrise from the middle of the bridge, if you can call it a sunrise, being … Continue reading

The most astounding sunset I ever saw… and I have seen a lot of sunsets, I mean, I do posts about them all the time… remember when I tried to post a sunset photo every night for an entire year?

Well, I did. I mean, I did lots of other stuff too, and this will certainly make doing my Yosemite picture posts more challenging, but hey, I do it all for you. So, bearing in mind that I am, obviously, … Continue reading

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Yosemite posts to bring you another little adventure, featuring good old-fashioned rock and roll, with a hint of Bay Area liberal ‘screw haters’ attitude…

Where did I go last night that featured a pinball machine with an anti-racism message? Why, to the fabulous ‘Ivy Room’ in Albany, California. And what did I do there? I saw this guy play. Okay, so you went to … Continue reading

Today, I traveled all around the world, and all I got you was a bunch of lousy flower pictures… part 3… starting with flesh-melting carnivorous flowers of doom!!!
