Sunday in my City - Golden Gate Park


Golden Gate Park Permissions and Permits Dept. Now I've lived in San Francisco all my life and this is the first time I've seen this log cabin. When I stumbled upon it I had no idea what or who occupied the cabin. I wanted to spend the night there, just for the heck of it.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy


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.
