Halloween with a Baseball theme...

Now comes the long wait until next season.

Tourism and Stuff...

Just seems like the two goes hand in hand.  Being a tourist and the need to buy stuff.  George Carlin is right.... a house is just a place to put all your stuff.

Get ready...

It's that time of year again for that "ding-dong, Trick or Treat" thingy.     Photo by "L"

Education...

A standing ovation to the schools and the growers who spend time with the little ones to educate them about food.     Photo by "L"

On a Lazy Sunday afternoon...

Hop on a bike to the river and just enjoy the company of a friend.

Worm hole...

When time and space is out of sync or when the photographer tries to do something different.

Happiness is...

Sometimes just a good old belly rub and a lot of attention.       Photo by guest photographer "L"

Smells like...


Bread.  Although it was way too early to start the day (thank you HP), the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread made it enjoyable.

Images from a protest...

I started to write a long narrative about these images.... however it's up to you to decide if these images move you positively or negatively.





MAD...

MAD Magazine... satire, humor, commentary and more.  This picture is actually a copy of the issue I remember owning back in 1976.

Soon to be forgotten...

It dawned on me that items and images such as this will soon be a memory.  I don't know if this old police phone box still operates.  Can you imagine the conversations that once took place?

A Family Vacation...


Noticed that there are a lot of European tourists visiting the City by the Bay today.  This family was sitting down to a light breakfast while enjoying one of those rare mornings where the fog isn't hanging around.



After about 20 minutes, the little boy got up.  Helmet on, cool rays ( I'm showing my age here ) on and was ready to get going.  Think this kid is going to ride a motorcycle when he gets older.




Unlike tourists from within our own country, these nice people took the time to tidy up their area, hopped on the bikes and rode off to explore.

Kicking back...

One of our final shots of the season where upon a nice day, you just wanna kick back and enjoy the rays.

Recruit...

Honest.  This young lady looked a lot like the model in the window poster.

Doing it right...

Dress shirt, dress slacks, bike and messenger bag.... at least he's trying to do the right thing.

Memories...

The one great thing about the city is that you can always find a great spot to just be with someone special.

Pathway...

Believe it or not.... this is actually part of a shopping mall in the gold rush country.    (Guess photographer "L")

Another shooter...

When you don't care if everyone knows what you're up to.

This isn't my idea...

This little one stood up when I turned if as though it was saying to me... the indignity.

It is real...

I have no idea what they were looking for.

Take one of me...

...and we're off.                                                                       ( Another image from guest photographer "L" )

I'd be smiling too...

if I had a contract that guaranteed that my transit agency must ensure that I am the  second highest paid transit worker in the country.  Not Cable Car... Gravy Train.

Make 'em an offer...

Why is it that all this picture needed is a cigar in the mouth?     (by guest photographer - "L")

Artist at work...

Walking through the Roseville Galleria, bright lights and a crowd.  The focus.... an exhibition on body art from a merchant who specializes on makeup.  Needless to say.... it worked.  The store was packed.
