February 28th. Oxalis

February 27th. Grocery store

February 26th. Napkins & Campanula

At Hazel's for lunch

February 25th. Honk Honk, Beep Beep

Look at the cutie I ran across tonight

February 24th. Zombies

February 23rd. Plum trees and beer

The tall stucco building across the street is the Anchor Brewing Company.

February 22nd. Birthday

Dinner at Chez Papa
 

February 21st. Binary door

February 20th. Laptop fail

The screen started doing this today. I'm calling this failure mode "theatre footlights".

February 19th. After the rain

February 18th. Plum trees

February 17th. Pier

On the pier at Fisherman's Wharf

K says this is a very representative picture. Iconic bridge in the background, check. Foreground: crumbling concrete and seagull.

February 16th. Twin Peaks

We walked up Twin Peaks today, the highest point in the city.

The city views were impressive, but I got distracted by the crows who were riding the wind blowing up and over the hill.

Crows and Sutro tower. Far off in the middle distance is the Golden Gate bridge, being overtaken by fog.

February 15. Feed me, Seymour!

February 14th. East to the bay

Looking east, across the bay to Oakland.

This is not a very good picture. But I don't much care, as I took it while taking a late afternoon walk, and it's calming me all over again. What I cannot capture is all the birds who sit here and sing at sunset, the smell of the dirt and grass and flowers and plum trees, or how warm the day was. Happy Valentine's Day, world.

February 13th. 18th street overpass

February 12th. Donuts & Chinese Food

Not to mention teriyaki & hamburgers

February 11th. Mission Bay

I find this a very odd part of San Francisco. It mostly used to be a railway yard and it's all built on landfill. Only recently it's become full of high-rise luxury condos, UCSF (especially biotech), and corporate headquarters. And here's another one of one of those:

It has a distinct lack of any kind of ambience besides "corporate office park" and "big parking lots near the ball stadium." But I guess we can't all be Lombard Street.

February 10th. Elaborate fronts

Don't always equal elaborate backs.

February 9th. Mission Dolores Basilica

a.k.a Mission San Francisco de Asís

February 8th. Irises

February 7th. Downtown, with clouds

It's not always sunny; it rained today too, I swear.

February 6th. Barred windows

But at least they're heart-shaped.

February 5th. I have a cold

Lemon poppyseed pound cake

February 4th. Year of the Snake

February 3rd. The plants are making their escape

February 2nd. Sunset

February 1st. Wrapped in plastic

Came across this street while out on my lunch walk. They were painting the house on the corner.
