While at the Tofu Festival yesterday I purchased a box of Harajuku Mochi Chocolat. This was based purely on its description–strawberry filled mochi with a dusting of chocolate. It looks like horse turds, but man this is a good find…
Mochi
Toe Fu In Festation
Today we went into Japan Town in San Francisco to check out the Tofu Festival. Later we went to Sapporo-Ya for a Ramen lunch.
Egret Eyeland
I don’t recall for as long as we lived here, a whole flock (20 or so) of Egrets nesting in one of the trees on the island. It was difficult to get a good angle as they were so high.
Sunday School
If you didn’t know, Sandy teaches Sunday school at the local church. Apparently on the last day of school one of her students presented her with a portrait. Uh I don’t know if I see the likeness, nonetheless it was very thoughtful.
Bloomers
One of my Father’s orchids bloomed, so I decided to photograph it. 11 shot image stack in CS4.
Post Birthday
Today we had brunch at Pappos, then followed that with an X men movie.
Sandy’s Day
Today we celebrated Sandy’s Birthday. I suggested going to Taco Bell and she could order anything off the dollar menu… She instead wanted to go to Tribu in Union City.
26 hrs in Paradise
Flew in around noon, done by 5. I had to fly 2400 mi just to have dinner with Teddy & Christine.
Flew out at 1:15PM in pouring rain. Have a nice vacation Teddy & Christine.
Yank Sing
We had a mini Italian reunion this morning at Yank Sing in San Francisco. The Dim Sum was excellent and of course it was great to see the Asato’s.
Memorial Day 2011
I usually go to our local Veterans park to photograph the Memorial Day events, but this year I forgot and committed to a family outing in San Francisco. It didn’t feel right skipping this tradition, so I went out to the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno yesterday to shoot a few photos to memorialize those who served. I have never been there before and could not believe the scale of this place.
