Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday - Flowers, A Fire Hydrant and Boats


This flowering plant was at the Conservatory of flowers. I don't know the name but I fell in love with it because it is so unique.


I came across this little fire hydrant in Golden Gate Park and it was just so cute, I had to get a shot of it.


The Blue and Gold fleet takes tourists on a bay cruise by Alcatraz Island and The Golden Gate Bridge. The Rocket boat which is the red, yellow and white boat takes riders on a lightning fast ride from the Bay Bridge to The Golden Gate Bridge.

The plant looks like the Bird of Paradise but it is not. I would love to take a ride on the Rocket Boat!
Marites said…
i think, that's a bird of paradise. I'm used to yellow-orange-red color combination of that plant. That's such a unique color!
Joanna Jenkins said…
Your first flower is absolutely amazing!!! It's so unusual.
Happy weekend, jj
Leslie D. said…
yes that plant is mesmerizing! wonder what it is? something exotic..the fire hydrant is great in fact I've noticed they're all painted different colors here where I live so must take some shots for future..
Gorgeous series of photos, Jo! The first one has just a little touch of blue, which is just fantastic!
Hootin Anni said…

Nice photos! I've never heard of the rocket boat...sounds like fun!
Cheryl Kohan said…
That is really a gorgeous plant...some sort of succulent, maybe? Love the hydrant, too. I haven't ever been to Alcatraz Island! And I'm not entirely sure I want to go on the Rocket Boat!!
Joanne Olivieri said…
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. Very much appreciated.

@Cheryl, It did resemble a succulent but it was not marked so I had no idea what it was I just found it fascinating. I don't think I'd want to do the rocket boat either :)
