Walking to Buy a Lightbulb at the Golden Hour                           San Francisco, March 31, 2021


It was 77-degrees, sunny, and still in San Francisco today, so I took a walk to enjoy a phone call with Steve, and then I figured I would continue on to Ace to buy a lightbulb. 

But on the way I got so distracted by the exquisite light itself!  Everything is blooming, everything looked so enchanting -- one of those days when SF was showing her best self.

These are from my new phone, a Google Pixel 4a.  Had I known what the world outside my door looked like today, I would have taken out my DSLR.  But at least this was a good opportunity to test.  Resolution can be a little fuzzy at a distance, tendency towards over-exposure, but -- it fits in my pocket!

As always, click on the photos to enlarge.

Oh, and I eventually made it to the hardware store as the sun started going down.  ;) 

Happy Spring!

a new discovery in the Presidio, near ILM

I run in the Presidio every day, but apparently I have been missing a spot. 
Who knew there was a pond with a fountain there?



bottle brush plant?  
It LOOKS like a literal bottle brush, so I'm going to go with that.
