Take a Walk With Me - Pacific Heights to the Nude Beach

Cherry blossoms explode in pink softness outside one of the many Victorians lining the street.

 

Flowers of the Strawberry Tree appear as Chinese lanterns.

A highly scented eucalyptus grove in Presidio Park. 

Fibonacci fueled chlorophyl.  A tender, yet aggressive vine competes with a budding calla lily as a spotlight of sun illuminates the shade darkened forest.

A Wooly Pollen Otter nestles against a cluster of Chattering Thistle Gourds. 

We finally make it to the coastal cliffs.  As I was snapping the tanker bringing yet another load of crap into the country and trying to will it to turn around and go back to China, I noticed a floppy pinkish figure moving along the sand far below.  Digital zoom confirmed it was a nude guy. Where's Willy?  See if you can spot him.

Got him! Between the trio of boulders and the cliff.

Wow, you live in such a beautiful area. Also, I think you just took a picture of my dream house.

Faylinn - I think you would loooove the old Victorian homes here. Sometimes I slink into open houses and guess what, they're even more beautiful inside - hardwood floors, high ceilings, elaborate crown molding, exquisitely carved fireplace mantels, large rooms, many of them remodeled with modern kitchens and roomy sleek bathrooms. The only drawback is the price. OY!

Sybann - you have sharp eyed and well developed Willie radar. So do I!

It is refreshing to take a dip in your world.. I wish I was a nude speck on that beach.

Gorgeous pics! You've inspired me to check out the Cherry blossoms this weekend... if it's not too late.

"Sometimes I slink into open houses..." I do that too! I love new construction houses or ones being refurbished. It's cool to walk in and see what's going on. That Victorian snap would make a fine painting or line drawing. You live in a beautiful area. Too bad the barge won out. I don't think I need anymore Hello Kitty gear.

Thank you so much for sharing.....
I can dream of walking beside you and pointing out the even more obscure double imagery of your repast

The fingertips of my universe thread between the fingertips of yours and the bright sand--beads of glass tinier than compound eyes on an insect--sits in our conjoined palms catching the yellow nova from above.The line of shadow from that venerable mansion's white wooden Southern-Belle eaves just begins at our pressed encircled wrists and cools the grass against our backs; tickling our necks and threading sweet chill throughout like fine needle through silk. The earth 'neath is all ours and the explosion of green emerging from the mansion's taut waistline rustles in tune with the breeze so fickle and flirtatious

It occurs to me while I sit drinking my tea ignoring the SNOW (just dancing shadows, really)in lovely Vermont, and looking at your gorgeous photos of SF, all crisp and fresh and green and luscious, that maybe we could add a photography book to your "to-do" list!
We're already waiting with bated breath to hear of your show (much love and congratulations!) and your Art book, and the thought of more of your photos is a fond wish I'm sure I share with many!

Lovely pics as always, 14. I particularly love the bee shot, but they are all wonderful! I've been really getting into shooting pics on my iphone - it is so limited in features (there are none) - and posting as tweets on twitter. if interested, www.twitter.com/knoxbronson ... i forget, are you on twitter? it is silly, but fun.

That red bridge looks familiar.
