Had some work in Marin so I poked around the northern part of the Golden Gate Bridge today. Of course it was around the noon hour…terrible time to shoot photos.
Golden Gate
Mum’s Day 2009
This year we didn’t have the advantage of having my cousin Jimi the professional chef, so we all had to step up and create a dish for our Mum’s Day 6 course brunch. After all the eating, it turned into a dog day afternoon with all the attention on Koa & Coyote Baker.
San Francisco General
Worked at SF Gen today. Shot this right outside the entrance.
Ferry
We took the ferry into San Francisco yesterday to find a doctor to fix Brian’s eyes. We gave up on that and ate at Taylor’s instead. I got my 1st chance to try out my new Canon SX200IS. I like my G10 better.
Honolulu Spring Time
Made a quick trip to Honolulu. As usual not much time for anything other than work.
Cait Land
Today we celebrated Caitlin’s birthday at our home in Alameda. The sun was out but it was a bit windy so we crowded in our dining area to enjoy a meal together. We gave diners the choice of Ribeye Steak accompanied by mashed potatoes loaded with 3 cheezes and bacon, grilled asparagus, or Halibut on a bed of saffron coconut rice swimming in a bed of coconut milk with dots of rooster sauce. This was followed by Croissant Bread Pudding with bourbon caramel sauce for desert. Happy Birthday, Cait!
Andersen’s Pea Soup
We’ve all seen driving down I5. I thought I would stop this time and take a photo. Hard to get a good angle though.
Backyard Burds
I spent a good portion of my day out in the backyard shooting photos of birds. It was my 1st test of my new Canon 100-400m IS Lens. It performed quite well.
Albany Waterfront Trail
I’ve been wanting to go here ever since I saw the photos from Google Earth. This is a hard place to describe. It’s a dog park, junkyard, urban art gallery, homeless camp kinda place. I was inspired by Tawny’s graffiti hike. I strolled the wilderness looking for and finally finding the most unusual artwork.
Pilipino leftovers
Sandy asked me to post her panorama of Mommie at work.
