What happens in SF gets put on my blog...Family Visit

San Francisco CA

A few weeks ago Sharon (Donna's Sister) visited us. We spent a nice weekend exploring the city and eating its fine food. Here are some photos from the visit.

Both Sharon and Donna close their eyes when photos are taken. It's in their genes. Luckily my 11 years in the Tech Industry has allowed me to meet some of the best digital artists around and one of them was able to quickly make some adjustments to this so that their eyes appear open. Keep in mind this is an altered photo when looking at it. It's amazing what we can do with computers these days.

Here is a shot of Donna and Sharon on the Golden Gate Bridge in the wind. I used my Lensbaby.

Another Lensbaby shot.

And another shot with the Lensbaby.

I was Lensbaby crazy.

Crissy Field in a dream.

China Town was ready for the Chinese New Year

Donna and Sharon took some time to do some shopping in China Town

Just before Sharon's flight we took her to the Irish Bank and she had a nice Ice Tea in a San Jose Sharks Glass.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Crissy Field

On this day in 2007 Donna and I were spending time outside of work with coworkers for one of the first times up here. It was fun. It was our first SF BBQ, our first time to Crissy field and our first time really just hanging out. Thanks and Happy Birthday Devin!

Look what I saw today!

San Francisco CA Fort Point 2010

I guess there was nothing worth taking pictures of on this day during the last 7 years so here is a picture I took last weekend. We went to Fort Point and this seagull posed for me in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Look what I saw today!

San Francisco CA 2010 Fort Point

Today we went to Fort Point to see the sights normally there as well as the Civil War festivities going on. Right now the tide is very high so the waves were hitting high on the jetty and crashing onto the road and parking lot. Every once in a while a big wave would come and get groups of people walking along the road wet. It caught people by surprise. I took a few pictures of a new BMW that happened to be parked in "The Splash Zone".

You can tell what is going to happen because everything is wet but the water looks pretty far away.

But then came a set wave and the BMW got tubed.

It looks kind of like a car commercial.

Here is from another angle with the big orange bridge in the background.

I was entertained so I thought I would share.......

One A Day - On this day in 2007

The Presidio San Francisco CA 2007

Here we are on Baker Beach. It's a great place and the views are fantastic. Be careful because it is a nude beach as well, but on this day it was cold so no nudes was good nudes.

One A Day - On this day in 2008

The San Francisco Bay 2008

On this day last year Donna and I went sailing on the Alma. It was a great trip and I highly recommend it. We passed by the Golden Gate Bridge at the perfect time and I snapped a shot.
