Help me understand...

While having coffee at one of my spots, I noticed this young family coming in.  Sitting across the room, I noticed something.

Is this a new fashion trend?  Wear your jeans where the cut is so low that when you sit down, you expose your underwear and have a pair of hosiery over your underwear?  Can someone help explain?

Leader of the pack...

Don't think we have a height problem here...

Reflection...

Happiness is...

... a fully belly, warm sun, catching a nap and having someone to cuddle with.

Come here...

This little girl has a spirit all of her own.  Instead of hanging out with all of her school chums, she moved away to see if she could get one of the birds to come to her.

I wanna follow the doggie...

Is it summer yet???

It's February isn't it?  Isn't this the San Francisco Bay Area?  I expect to see a scene like this in Southern California, Hawaii or Florida.  This shot is from the archieve.  With temps in the 70's, I can't wait for the nice weather to return.

Shake down...

Seeing a car going through it's final shake down is fun. An identical car behind this one had a couple of engineer types who weren't too pleased that I was snapping photos.   Their fault for no camouflage.  A photographer by the name of Jim Dunne made a good living at this.  By the way... the car is now on sale.

Another perspective...

I just the love the contrasts.  Straight lines, arches, brick, steel, concrete, wood, etc...

Dude... chill...

The look on the face of the guy in the middle got me thinking of all the times where I was feeling the exact same thing when it came to waiting for Muni (mass transit in San Francisco) to arrive.

Taking a stroll...

Just another quiet morning on the shore.

Leica X1, 24mm Elmarit, f/9,  1/1600s, ISO400

You looking' at me?

Working many levels...

Coming soon...

During my periodic haircut today, my hair stylist (what happened to barbers?) asked me about offspring. Told her that my photos are my children.  My legacy.  My mark that I once was here.   She didn't mean anything by one of those "conversations" you have while sitting in the chair.  But talk about bad timing to bring this topic up.   All day today, Frank Sinatra's "It was a very good year" has been playing in my head.  A reminder to all my readers.... cherish each moment.

Just when I thought...

...that these antique street cars are moving pieces of history... behold, 21st Century controls.  Oh well.

Happy Valentines...

Hope that all of you had the opportunity to spend some time with a loved one or someone special.  Pet's are loved ones too !!

One day...

... I may see my name in lights.

 If you are interested in knowing more about the model, take a look at her blog site http://www.heycheri.com

Come quick...

.... I found us some place good to eat !

Oh it's a good day...

Sometimes just seeing people going off to work with a smile can make your day.

Not an iPad???

This is now a rare sight. Seeing head slightly down, arm bent into the position.  One would expect to see an iPad or Tablet in hand.  What a surprise to see it's a newspaper.

Another One Bites the Dust...

Another car company with a proud heritage goes away.  One of the first with front wheel drive, hatchback designs, ignition key in the center of the floor.  Once part of a proud Scandinavian auto industry which no longer exists.  The death of SAAB can also be attributed to how messed up General Motors was and still is.

Cars looking for a good home.  By the way.... sold AS-IS.... no warranty.

Enjoy it while it lasts...

Great thing about being a little kid is that dad is around to give you a lift.
