Happy Birthday Golden Gate Bridge

-

The Golden Gate Bridge at 75 years old.  I hope I look this great at that age :)
I snapped this shot a couple of months ago.
The bridge 75 years ago.  I borrowed this photo from the 415 Facebook page.

As an added treat I've included a short video clip that I created as a tribute to my friends Sony and Jerry Holland when they were here in San Francisco.  This short clip hosts "On A San Francisco High" which is  my favorite song about my hometown.  This song was written and composed by Jerry Holland and sung by Sony Holland.
Make sure to visit Sony's website at www.sonyholland.com

Wow, this brought tears to my eyes here in faraway India...I always love the bridge, in all its moods...and the video of Sony and Jerry, singing "On a San Francisco High" - that was
absolutely superb...the song has now outdistanced even Tony Bennett, in my heart
( slightly ). What was so much fun is that I was present at so many of the venues where
those pictures were taken. My friends here in India ( some 30 of them ) have been, or
will be, the recipients of "Sanssouci" so they will get to experience her incredible
voice...and Jerry's song writing...for themselves.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
