SF Attacked By Huge Arrow! Citizens Run Screaming!

I love the whimsical nature of public art. This particular bow and arrow I never really appreciated until today, when I looked at it with my Lensbaby in hand and thought: that would make a really cool photo. I enjoy how the Lensbaby effect makes it seem a little more surreal.

(Oh, and PS: April Fools! I definitely have not adopted any snakes recently. Although I did think that one was kind of cute.)

Squiggles!

Meet my new pet, Squiggles. We found her under the house and she's slowly getting used to us. I've always wanted to have a pet snake. They get a bad rap, but really they're awesome. I think she's happy to be in her new terrarium. We fixed it up really nicely.

I'll share some more pictures of Squiggles tomorrow!

Summer came to San Francisco today after weeks of rain and drab gray skies. It felt like what it was: a reprieve. A chance to wear short sleeves, to go hang out in the park, to wander the city streets after dark, just because.

I met up with a friend for a long-awaited reunion, some chardonnay and a piece of peach pie. After a lot of good conversation, we walked home and we could see the stars. It was still warm enough to be wearing one layer.

Sometimes, freedom is as simple as not having to worry about being cold when you step outside.

On the Water

At sunset. What a life, right? Not too shabby. (Better to be on the water. I was on the beach, sand fleas devouring myself and my compatriots. LOTS of big itchy red bumps the next day. But worth it for a shot like this, eh?
