I’m ending the summer blog feature with a few images from the edge of San Francisco, at Fort Point and a cave near the Sutro Baths. I cannot tell you how cold it feels here by the Pacific…I was simply frozen with numb fingers gripping my point & shoot. We had a fantastic six weeks...
I saw this altar at a Burmese restaurant after a wonderful lunch…how lovely is it? (Shot with the iPhone in some serious dark lighting.)
I’ll admit I was not super excited to go see the Giants; I am just not a fan of sitting around watching sports for hours on end….*I* would rather be the one doing something! But, that said, watching the Giants play the Chicago Cubs was indeed a great day. I didn’t watch too much of...
Delfina is one of the yummiest restaurants in San Francisco and now they have a restaurant that is all about their fabulously creative pizzas: Pizzeria Delfina! I could eat these fresh locally grown salads, thin crust pizettes every day. The fresh strawberry-basil soda was the best soda I have ever had….deeeeeelish~

We have been waiting for about 20 years to get a ride on this streetcar boat…seems it only comes out for special occasions and holidays in weather that deemed “just right”. We have caught a glimpse of it many times, but never were at the right spot at the right time. Well, today was the...
Visited some of my favorite places in San Francisco our first few days here:
Union Square, with it’s Heart’s of San Francisco sculptures
Samovar Tea Lounge in Yerba Buena Gardens is always a first stop for me. I love the “Ocean of Wisdom” blend, which was created for the Dali Lama. The cookie plate is also a...
We have arrived in our beloved San Francisco…it feels like home. (But really, really cold!) I may be neglecting the blog a bit since we only have two weeks here and lots to do and many friends to see. It’s just SO good to be here~
My hands literally froze while getting this shot of a...
Who would have guessed their first request was to go to the Seward Street Slides? These are the only 2 photos I was able to capture on the point and shoot cam without extreme sliding blur.
I only had time for shooting with the iPhone on the train from Portland to San Francisco. My boys had a great time dining, showering, and sleeping in their beds onboard. I think I would fly next time though…Amtrak is just not so much for me.
We spent some time at the historic Pittock Mansion, trying to imagine what life was like in the “olden days.” It seems all the gardens in Oregon are completely bursting with flowers (and bumblebees too!) and the air just smells sooooooo good.
*still working with the point & shoot only, for over a month now!
