A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

Bay Area CA

3 day weekends are great. This most recent 3 day weekend was epic. We packed a ton into 3 days. We did 2 city tours, went to 2 bars on our quest to visit bars from A-Z and rented a car and got out of town for a day. Check it out.

We did the SF City Guides Tour of the Rincon Center Murals. These murals were painted during the WPA program.

The Rincon Center is a really great Art Deco building originally built to be the main post office in San Francisco.

I really liked this shot I took on our walk to North Beach.

We have been going to bars working our way through the alphabet. We went to Columbus Cafe for the letter C.

Here is me striking a pose at Columbus Cafe.

I took a picture of a nice selection of Bitters at Cask, a fairly high end Whiskey Store.

Donna and I went to Brentwood to pick cherries. It was the 2nd weekend of the season. It was fun.

I took this one of Donna while I was on a Cherry Ladder. I didn't fine the Chute or the HiHo....

Lovely Cherries

Donna wore her Cherry Tree camouflage.

More Cherry Picking. It was very picturesque.

Then we went to an Alpaca farm and saw the alpaca.

They were cute

This one liked Donna but Donna didn't know it yet. :)

Twins? Nope....

Cute hu?

A bit of grafiti art and a different view of the Transamerica Pyramid.

I like taking photos of buildings

This is a great shot of a bar we went to in North Beach. 15 Romolo. It's a speak easy in an alley. The photo doesn't do the view we had justice. It was so cool.

A candle and bitters at 15 Romolo

Donna anticipating her libation at 15 Romolo.

It was a great weekend. I look forward to the next 3 day weekend.

Some photos for you during my break

Up and Down the West SoCal, NoCal, Vancouver and Idaho

I did mention in my last post that things are pretty busy. I decided to take most of the month off from posting pictures but I am working on December now and I thought I would give you a few pictures to hold you off and to prove I am busy and still taking photos.

Hope you like 'em.

I can't wait!

One A Day - On This Day in 2008

San Francisco CA

On this day in 2008 I took this photo of an Obama poster. I thought the city in the background and the Chinese lettering was cool.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA

On this day Donna was up in San Francisco for her first full weekend. We took a nice long walk and I found this mural and took a photo of it. Since then I have seen this mural in a few publications.

One A Day - On This Day in 2009

San Francisco CA Divisadero St

On this day in 2009 someone felt strong enough about politics to make a poster and the post it on a newspaper dispenser. If you look closely the newspaper dispenser is for The Onion. Recently The Onion discontinued their printed paper and now once again it is only online.

One A Day - Aug 27th

San Francisco China Town 2009

Here is a photo that makes me sad. It's a Space Invaders Arcade machine that has been abused. It was shoved in the corner at LiPo Lounge and you could not access it. I took this photo for when I start my "Stop Arcade Machine Abuse" special interest group.
