Another from the Tilden Park carousel. I hope the little boy’s face is visible with the low-resolution of the web.
This is a good set with the little girl on the carousel.
Zebra Chases Ram

Another from the Tilden Park carousel. This is a menagerie carousel so there are many different animals including horses — of course.

This is my favorite panning shot from visiting the Tilden Park carousel although that will not stop me from posting more images.
This image has a nice pair image of a little boy.
Tilden Park Carousel

Today, Aphra and I went to the Tilden Park carousel. I heard about it this week while listening to NPR. They had a show about various preservation projects proposed for the San Francisco Bay Area. The Tilden Park Carousel is one of those projects. To see all the projects, you can visit Partners in Preservation.

Another from the archives. This is from the 2nd floor landing of SF MOMA.
High Fire Danger Today
 |
The news announced that today is high fire danger because of the dried grasses that are abundant this time of year combined with high winds. I have heard that our hills used to be green year round with the native bunch grasses. However, the early Spanish settlers introduced European grasses for their cattle. These non-native grasses replaced about 99% of the native bunch grasses and now are hills are brown (or golden depending on your viewpoint) in the fall. We are at the end of our dry season. Our rains start in about a month or so.
Fall Grasses

Tonite, I went for a short hike along the Coyote Creek trail. It has been way too long since I have been hiking. This picture is a little deceiving because the brown grasses are much more common right now with splashes of green still hanging in there.
Tonite, I have the first draft of my About Me page posted. I still have the hard part of getting a photo of myself made. I still want to add a footer to the site.

Another quick grab shot taken when Chip and I were returning to the train after visiting the Edward Weston exhibit at SF MOMA.
