  • Critters & Feathered Ones

    We left San Francisco to travel south and I had a field time with the little ones.

    First of all I would like to thank everyone who has recommended my page so diligently. It is probably the best compliment you can give me. I will show you the last pictures that I wanted to share on San Francisco. I thought of not showing you these but then again...

    With all the litigation issues I was surprised that this was allowed. Hurray! We have not lost it all!

    Lombard Street must be the most difficult subject in SF if you don't have access to heights

  • If you are going...:PART II

    It was so good to see the street cars. I have not seen them since my childhood in Durban, South Africa. The have done away with them in the name of modernization.

  • Sierra Nevada: PART V

    We spent some time at Mono Lake and then drove to June Lake but spent very little time there because we did not want to get back to Tenaya Lodge too late. The next day we were going to San Francisco and we did not want to leave late. I am not sure that I have any photos worth showing you. Yosemite was so overwhelming that I was not easily inspired. It was raining, wind blowing and we just needed to take a break.

    Mary Sue asked me about photos I took in Australia.  Just in case someone else is interested I will post a few here:
