Yosemite!

I think it's very telling that we spent only 1 night in Yosemite park and a whole week in San Francisco and at least a third of my photos are of Yosemite. It was absolutely beautiful there and even the drives in and out were breathtaking. As you can see from the pictures below, there was a great balance of water, rock, sky and green everywhere we went.

Misty Bay

I like this photo mostly because it makes me think of my Dad, who likes actual sail boats as well as pictures of sailboats and I think probably mysteriously misty sail boats too!

California Sunset

Sighhhhhh.....

Alcatraz Island

We took a night tour of Alcatraz which turned out to be so beautiful! We got to watch the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge and the view of the city was gorgeous. Alcatraz has lots of buildings on it (that you are not allowed to explore, unfortunately), including this one which caught my eye because of all of the missing outside walls/windows. It almost made it look like an abandoned tropical hotel /resort!


I took this photo because there is a pane of glass missing and don't you imagine, as I do, that this pane was probably busted out by an inmate many years ago who fancied escape? Only then to discover that there is another 4 inches of glass and more bars beyond! Bummer for that guy.

China Town

San Fran MoMa

We saw this really cool piece of art that was a 3-D/painting piece. And there's our adorable E admiring it!

Gorton?!

This guy was sitting across from us on the street car when I snuck this photo - doesn't he look like he might be the Gorton's Fisherman? Only a pipe could make this look more complete. I'll add a close up of his accessories.
