San Francisco Bay Waters

It was fleet week here last week and I spent some time out by the bay gathering shots of all the festivities.  Here are a few.  The first shot FYI is a photo of Alcatraz Island.  Thank you and enjoy.

Thursday Two Questions Meme - Hometown Favorites

For those of you who know me and follow this blog you know I love the botanical gardens. However, even before I discovered the gardens decades ago, my favorite spot in my hometown was Fisherman's Wharf.

The wharf is touted as a tourist destination though many of us locals frequent this vibrant and alive area. From the wharf area you can not only see the Golden Gate, Alcatraz Island, Coit Tower and the high rises in downtown SF but you have a bustling neighborhood full of world renowned restaurants, unique shops and a host of artists and musicians that fill the streets with a party atmosphere.

One of my favorite times to visit is during the morning hours when the streets are still quiet and the smell of the ocean permeates the air. You can feel the morning mist bathe your skin while seeing the Golden Gate hiding behind a veil of fog. It's then that I so appreciate living in San Francisco.

My two questions this week are:

1. Where do you live?

2. What is your favorite spot in your hometown?

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.
