Colorful houses # 2

These two houses go so well together.

Ben de Nice in San Francisco...

... with a Latino twist!

I suppose the gun is fake...

On Valencia St

I like antiques

A very appropriate sign for an antique shop... I like them in person very often!

Synesthesia ?

Cherry blossoms are blooming all over the city and when I walk past one, one tune comes to mind...

Cherry Blossom Girls by Air.

San Francisco in Bloom.

My favorite season in San Francisco is right now. It's beautiful everywhere you look.

Another tree

In Golden Gate Park.

Fog on Castro

It is back!

Sister Act

Beautiful St Paul's.

Disco Ball

When in a city you should always look up...

And if you look carefully, you can see me!

Big Tree

This huge tree is so cosy...

In the Botanical gardens. Another family favorite.

Cable Web

in the Sunset...

Colorful houses

Not the painted ladies... These are a lot more colorful!

Fog time in S. F.

San Francisco has 2 main areas.

I'm lucky to live on the sunny side of the hill. I take a picture every time it happens...
Generally in summertime.

A Gaudi frog

Amazing mural on Haight Street.

Barbie dolls display

Somewhere in San Francisco, there is another one display of Barbie dolls (Ken dolls in fact). It's adult only.

So, not here. Not until I edit it...

I like this one better. The window display of a hair salon.

California Roll

There are different kind of California rolls... You could eat one while doing the other but one is illegal!

San Francisco is the city of STOP signs. I find it very clever. It must save them so much money!

Needless to say, I stop at every single one of them!

Oh Alcatraz, where art thou?

Looks like somebody is trying to erase the island!

Buddha Bar

In the Japanese Tea Gardens.

I go there just for him...

Triptych along Market Street

Original idea by my amazing daughter.

Red white and blue?

Not quite.

Bleu blanc rouge in the San Francisco skyline...

A pretty unusual sight in fact, even for me (unless it is on an official French building which was not the case here).

 

There are many French and French speaking people in the San Francisco Bay Area... Which means that we can find many French goodies!

Except for Foie Gras...

San Francisco is in California, after all!

On the water

It took me 3 years to discover that part of San Francisco. It is so peaceful (during the week at least it is).

I could live there.

Chinese New Year is near...

One of the first pictures I took in San Francisco. I was still a tourist in my own city...

I like this fountain. It has so many details...

Greetings from San Francisco

Bridge # 2

The most famous one. People usually photograph it on a clear blue sky...

Not me...

Not always...

And babies make three...

My daughter saw this one first while I was driving from her school. I parked and took a picture with my cell phone as I usually do (note to self : carry camera at all times).

It's not my favorite art piece but it does go well with the 2 previous ones and I wonder who does them...

Guess where it is!

In the Castro. Where else?!?

Ephemeral art?

Will this vegetable art piece last longer than the Lego one?

In Noe Town Square...

Lego art

So far I have seen 3 of these sculptures. That one is the most obvious...

It was in Duboce Park. I drove past today and it's gone...

Blue sky. No fluffy clouds.

A painting by Yves Klein?

Nope. Blue sky of San Francisco these days...

It's hypnotizing.

My favorite San Franciscan

Born and raised.

In the San Francisco Zoo. A family favorite.

Happy New Year!

Best wishes from San Francisco !
