Today's Flowers, Scenic Sunday, Blue Monday, Mellow Yellow / Wisteria in the Bay Area

 Click on photos to enlarge!
I so enjoyed the wisteria in the San Francisco Bay area on my recent visit.
These were among the grape vineyards of  Livermore, California USA.

This is from another perspective of the top photo.  
It was breezy so I tried a slower shutter speed to play with motion blur...1/15 second.

SkyWatch Friday / Looking STRAIGHT up!

 Click on photos to enlarge!
The sky soars above an old sailing ship docked at Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco, California USA.

...and the U.S. flag waves beautifully over the downtown area of Livermore, California USA.

A dark sky hovers over my head at home in southern California.

SkyWatch Friday, Scenic Sunday, Blue Monday, That's My World Tuesday / San Francisco Cable Cars

 Click on photos to enlarge!
This was a perfect day to park the car and walk and walk and walk around San Francisco.
Our day ended with a climb up Hyde Street to find some great places to photograph the cable cars.
This one was going UP the hill!

This cute couple enjoyed the breeze as they came down the hill to the wharf area.

Blue Monday, That's My World Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday, Watery Wednesday / San Francisco, Calfifornia USA

Click on photos to enlarge!
The "Rocket Boat" speeds past Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.
This boat isn't for me but I sure liked watching it!

Alcatraz is 1.5 miles from the Wharf area of San Francisco.
It has been a light house, a military prison and a penitentiary over the years.
Now, it's a great tourist attraction.

...and, of course a trip to San Francisco is incomplete without a bridge!
I can't believe I didn't get a shot of the Golden Gate!
Sinful, to say the least!
This is the Oakland Bay Bridge as we drove into the city from the east side of the bay.
It was a girls' road trip...such fun!
Thank you, Candi and Sally!
You 2 ROCK!

It was tricky keeping myself out of the picture!!!

Weekend Reflections / There Is A Fine Line Between Inside And Outside

Click on photo to enlarge!
There is a fine line between 'inside' and 'outside'.
I found this window reflection in the San Francisco Bay area town of Livermore while shopping with friends.
Actually...I was hunting for photo ops while they were shopping!!!
