When All the Hidden Pity In the Forbidden City Comes Out

Loving SF

Off to the Carnaval parade.

After the Rain

King's Market

From this past weekend's Carnaval parade.

Three Geese

I won second prize in photography in a pretty big local art fair last week with this shot. Learned a lot about printing and framing in the process. For one thing, it's expensive.

Putting It All Behind You

This picture, maybe more than any I've ever taken over the years, exemplifies exactly what the annual Bay to Breakers race is all about. And if anyone out there is offended... well, what the hell are you doing here in the first place? You know how we are!

Matching Glasses

Another one from the Maker Faire. Just loved those glasses!

Shocking!

From the Maker Faire in San Mateo last Saturday.

No Rush -- Any Time is Fine

I posted this shot -- another from the most recent How Weird Street Faire -- on Facebook a couple days ago, and apparently it's become quite popular. Viral? Hmmm. Maybe. Who woulda thunk?

Long Shadows

Early morning at Pudding Creek Trestle in Fort Bragg (previously captured by Generik here).

Bald Eagle Strike

Unlike a self-respecting Osprey, a Bald Eagle will scavenge carrion. This one missed his dead fish target.

Keep Your Eye On the Ball

From this past weekend's How Weird Street Faire.

Shiny Happy People

A group of revelers at the Aub Zam Zam last night, curious about our Ale & Quail Club presence. "What's with all the cameras?" Just pose, please. Thanks.

Shooter & Spotter

A co-worker and former co-worker on a recent team-building offsite.

Art Appreciation

Another one from the recent show with Julie Michelle and William Taylor Jr.

Osprey with Trout

Our annual edition.

"The Only Rule is 'Don't Shoot the Piano Player.'"

Seen at the recent reception of a show by talented photographer and friend Julie Michelle with local writer William Taylor Jr.

Gracias, Come Again

In my neighborhood.

Gone Home

Land's End

View from the headlands north of Pudding Creek, Fort Bragg.

Room With a View

Color version below the fold...More...

Pileated Woodpecker

I've been gunning for this guy for years. Large here.

All That Jazz

Discarded by the Mothership

Seen near Slab City.

Fletch

A sharp new advertising display downtown really hits the mark.

Come On and Take a Free Ride

This one's for you-know-who.

Dancing with the Stars

Jef Poskanzer does his best moonwalk on our recent Art Walk/Flickr Meetup in the Mission District.

Strong Shoulders

Let Me Be Your Teddybear

Flamingo Hutch

Don't ask me why, but I have a thing for plastic pink flamingos.

Orange You Ready for Baseball?

Giants fans. They're a different breed.

The Mote in Your Neighbor's Eye

Somebody's yard in Twentynine Palms.

Osprey, Incoming

Apologies for my absence. Extremely busy time. Hope I haven't posted this one already.

Opening Night, 2012

There are few things I like better than baseball and fireworks. And combined with a dramatic Giants win in the bottom of the 9th, like they pulled off Saturday? Off the charts.

Tonight the G-men start a three-game series with ahab's team. Go Giants!

Frolic in the Dunes

Kelso Dunes in Mojave National Preserve.

Light Supper

Fast food in Chico, CA.

Heck of a Place to Break Down

White Trash Bride

Another one from the Brides of March. Her entire wedding dress is made from plastic trash bags. And I believe that's Kevin Spacey smoking there behind her. Isn't it?

Americana

Route 66 Motel in Barstow, California.

Mid-Afternoon at the Oasis

Lost Palms Oasis near Cottonwood Springs, Joshua Tree National Park. Color version below the fold.

Two Wheels Above All

Driver of the Sub-Genius

Give up your job for Bob!

Calvary

Posting this a couple days early, since I'm leaving town tonight and won't be back til Sunday. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone, although it is okay to have a little.

The Dating Game

This breed has moved up north by now, but sexytime is in full swing for everybody else around here.

In Loving Memory of Cowboy

God Hates Facts

Seen at today's 34th annual St. Stupid's Day parade.
