 Poppy in the rain I’ve added two new Card Packs to my selection of Greeting Cards. The additions are Flowers and San Francisco. Check them out at Greeting Cards.
 Ruffled Feathers I decided a few shots of some animate objects was in order so I went to Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts yesterday. There were quite a few birds out including my favorite ones, pelicans. There were two of them at Crissy looking for food. Great birds. You can see some of my shots at recent work. Enjoy.
 South Rodeo Beach I was at South Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands last night for the sunset. It was a great night on the beach; warm, no wind and a few small waves. The fact that I had a camera along was truly incidental. But, good as it was, there came a moment after the sun was down and everyone else had left that was beyond special. Standing on a beach there’s usually a fair amount of sound: waves crashing, birds and so on. But about 20 minutes after the sun was down last night, all the noise just stopped. And there I was, all by myself on the edge of the continent. I stopped shooting and just enjoyed the moment. Hopefully you will enjoy some of the pictures from last night at my recent work page.
 Rain Drop It rained today ending that depressing great weather we’ve been cursed with the past three weeks. Who says music in a minor key is depressing? Well, maybe this guy but besides that?
I went out to Lobos Creek Trail, hoping for some rain drops falling on my head. Be careful what you wish for: when I got there it was raining too much to risk my gear. So – I know you can see what’s coming – I went over to Clement Street for a cuppa coffee and to wait out the shower. Today I went to Royal Ground Coffee, a local chain. Not bad and it has the right level of “not a chain” for me even tho it is a chain.
While I didn’t get a lot of shots, there’s a couple I like on my recent work page. Click on the photo on this post to see the rain drop in the upper third on the leaf. Full disclosure: I didn’t see the rain drop until I saw the picture on a 24″ monitor. 
 Dew on Cedar With apologies to David Guterson. Spent the morning at the Japanese Tea Garden. Had hoped for a little more fall color…maybe next time. Still, there were a couple of nice scenes to capture. Check out recent work for two more of my favorites.
 Moonrise over the Gate My 2012 Calendar – Scenes of San Francisco – is now available. This year features 12 images of San Francisco, The Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.

 Fall Color, San Francisco No, wait, I’m still here. I’ve been busy doing “stuff.” I started on a new project today – so far it’s just in the thinking stage. You, you lucky person, can see what I did today on Telegraph Hill. This is a statement that going far away to get inspired is not necessary: All of these pictures were taken within a half a mile from home. What pictures you say? See recent work for some examples. The first picture is a special for Cindy.
 My Wall at Canessa I want to thank everyone who stopped by Canessa for Artwalk. It was a great experience. I got to meet lots of locals as well as some out of towners – some from as far as Indianapolis. And an new idea occurred to me during the show. Stay tuned for my next project.
 OK, the pictures are all hung, everything is ready. Are you? Hope to see you at Canessa Gallery this weekend. I’ll be there from 11 to 1 both days and most of the time after 1. Go here for the map of Artwalk.
 Check out my North Beach Gallery. This is just a “sketch” but enjoy the pictures. It is a little outside my usual stuff.
