I couldn’t be there–I’m an American living in Britain–but it gives me hope to see the pictures. Thanks for posting them.
Hi Ellen, I’m glad the images gave you a peek into the day. It was very inspiring and hopeful. Wondering how it must feel watching it all from afar– I find I must compartmentalize. Thank you for your visits to my posts. Much appreciated.
Marvelous!
Thanks, Elena. It was a great day. 🙂
Such beautiful coverage of the march, Jane!
Thank you so much, Pam. What a day!
Very good. (Let’s hear it for pink) I liked the carton saying “I will not go back to the 50’s” (Or something like that)
Great pix. Thanks for sharing
Brian
Happy you enjoyed these, Brian. What a day. Thank you!
You’re welcome. We need more days like that. (Enjoyed your city very much last year. A beautiful place)
Thanks! Happy you had a great time!
A bit cold for the first 2 days. I then learned it is usual in Frisco. Loved it. 3rd time I went. I’ll gladly go back for more. Cheers.
Beautiful tribute to a great movement! Gorgeous captures!
It was a great day, Tiny. Thanks so much!
Many bravos Jane on all that this post stands for, and congrats on being featured on WordPress Discover; so deserved 🙂
Thank you very much, Andrew. Very exciting in many ways.
Stunning photos, Jane. This post goes right to heart. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
Thank you, Hanne. It was a powerful day. Glad you liked these.
What a moving tribute! Your photos and quotes are fantastic. Wonderful work, Jane.
Thank so much, Patti. It was great to be there and exciting to photograph. Glad you like them.
Very much so, Jane.

Thank you Jane, you are welcome and thank you for sharing as well 🙂
Thank you too Jane!
The march in SF must have been rather electric.
Locally, the march here was much smaller with most going to the larger one in Denver. Also, there were some Never-Trumpers in the march – they are very uncomfortable with him as president, which is an understatement. They portray him being in office as “borrowing trouble”. Then, a couple of Trump supporters got into an argument. One was there to watch, saying the march is what is the best about America, while the other said, no it isn’t. Though the latter sounds disturbing, it really isn’t – there is already plenty of buyer’s remorse out there. Given time, he will become a non-factor as president.
PS – Like your new gravatar In front of your favorite window? lol 🙂
Hi David, What an experience! All of this is quite unsettling and I am fearful of where things are going. Thanks so much for sharing your story. We all need to make our voices heard. Yes, trying out a new window view. 🙂 lol.
An incredible event, wasn’t it? Great coverage, Jane 🙂
It really was, Jo, and I was happy to participate. Glad you enjoyed these SF moments. Thank you.
Wonderful post.
Thank you, Alex. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I love the idea of this whole march, and this post x
Thanks so much, Anna. Me, too!
Great photos. Lovely how beautifully everyone came together.
Thank you, Evelina. There was inspiring energy that day.
I want a cut out Obama to call my own!!! A superb set Jane, and so the hard work begins.
Thank you, Patti. I wept when Joan Baez sang Forever Young and dedicated it to Obama. Agree, attention must be paid.
The power of an image… Great work Jane; I wish I could have been there to experience it all!
Thank you, Cynthia. And coupled with social media, photographs are telling an important story. You are there in spirit, I know! Hope you are doing well.
Thank you, Women of America.
Thank you, Don!
That’s me. An oldie but goody.:)
What a great day! I think we are going to see many more marches soon. I miss the Bay area so much.
Thanks so much, Eduardo. Glad you enjoyed seeing this and that it made you nostalgic for SF. 🙂
Thanks for the feature on WP Discover, Michelle. Much appreciated.
This is a wonderful post, Jane. It must have been exciting to be there!
Thanks so much, Elisa. It sure was! Glad you enjoyed the portraits.
Great documentation of the women’s march!
Thanks so much, Rabirius!
Great pictures and historic affection. You are touching souls with simple briefly photographs. Amazing!
Hi Anthony, What a wonderful compliment. Thanks very much.
Great pictures that capture a historic day… it still gives me goosebumps just thinking about how many people turned out all over the country/ world. Thanks for sharing!
Hi FTI, Thanks so much. Happy you were inspired by the day and these images. Much appreciated.
Your photos capture the vibe of the day so well! Very impressive on so many levels.
Thank you, Ginny. It was great talking with you about your experience in DC. Happy you enjoyed the SF scene in this series. Onward.
Jane, I loved your Women’s March photos- especially the one with the 2 women in the hats sold on every downtown street corner ( but must have been customized for the march) plus the “Frozen” backpack. I was away at a medical meeting with Sandy so sadly did not join in but saw photos from and talked with my daughter and sister (marched respectively in DC and Pittsburgh) and other friends from SF and from Raleigh. Then I looked at your oak trees and then all your trees and your fabulous favorites of 2016. Wow! Very beautiful and inspiring.! A nice way to end the evening and now go read my book. Love, Jennifer
Hi Jennifer, So nice to hear from you. Thanks very much for enjoying and I hope to see you soon!
Nice pictures and expressions….Saturday was an eventful day for many of us. I pray we keep supporting each other and remind this new administration that we will not tolerate discrimination and hate.
Hear, hear, Lucie. Well said — thank you for your visit and appreciation.
what great shots u have truly captured the moment!! loving the state house in the pink..spectacular!!
Thank you, friend. Such great energy!
Quite the day Jane – you captured it perfectly!!!
Thanks, TIna. Great energy in SF to finish the worldwide effort. Quite an experience.
Great images Jane, I went to the march in Laguna Beach in California, but without my camera (:
Great that you went, Cornelia. Sorry about your camera but it’s the memories and inspiration that are most important! Glad you enjoyed these- thank you.
You’ve captured the sentiment and mood beautifully, Jane! It felt as if I was there. Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
Thanks so much, Cheryl. Glad you felt the energy through the images. Appreciate your support and I hope all is well with you and Basil.
Thanks for asking, Jane. I’m waiting for winter to recede. Basil doesn’t mind it much. 🙂
Melanie blink twice was one of my favorite signs that I saw. Great shots Jane.
Thanks so much, Maverick. It is one of the most important ones… Glad you enjoyed these shots from a great day.
love seeing this march “through our eyes” – beautifully captured.
Thank you so much, Andie. What a positive experience and I’m so glad you marched, too.
Terrific photos of a historic event.
Thanks very much, Karen.
Thank you for documenting and participating GF. ✊🏽👍✌🏻❤
Thank you, Wendy. Miss you! 💪✊🏽💕
Great photos of a momentous occasion, Jane!
Thank you, Lisa! It certainly felt like it. Glad you enjoyed them.
I like the photo of City Hall in pink, Jane. Your presence at the rally is as important as your photos. Good job.

How nice, Allan. Thank you so much. It was a powerful day around the world.
That speaks volumes, Jane.

Jane what a beautiful and powerful post! Brought tears to my eyes! So happy to see the tremendous support of women around the world for each other. We shall overcome.
Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for your wonderful response. There was an amazing feeling of unity and purpose. Now the work needs to continue. Hope all is well with you.
Yes indeed Jane. The first five days have brought me to my knees in despair but then I saw a bald eagle fly over the park this morning and I remembered that we can never stop fighting for our beliefs. 🙂
💪💕✊🏽
Just great! You can feel the energy!!!
Thank you, Ann! It was unifying and powerful.
Great pictures, great statement. March On! Best wishes from good old europe.
Thanks so much, Martin. Your support is much appreciated.
wow – amazing and elegant images….
Thank you, Mihran. It was an honor to be there and also photograph the crowd.
Wonderful photos. Glad you were able to capture the moment and momentum.
Thanks so much, Sarah. It was an inspiring day. Let’s hope the momentum continues.
I hope these marches will have success. Very good post.
Thank you so much, Lutz. We hope for positive outcomes. I appreciate your support.
Wow! These are gorgeous images, every single one of them. I can’t pick a favorite but I think having City Hall washed in pink hit the spot…
Thanks so much, Lupa. That was a wonderful finish to the rally when they turned on the pink. Glad you enjoyed these.
Very nice set of images to illustrate this march. You are certainly living a strange time these days. We can only hope that it will settle down shortly. Good luck! (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. I appreciate your support as we navigate this new world.
Strong photographs of a very important movement!
Thanks so much, CP. Photographs tell an important story. Glad you agree!

Jane as always thank you. These photos brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. I love the quotes you chose. I’m a big appreciator of quotes. Have a great day. Mary
Hi Mary, I’m so glad that this inspired you. Thank you. I find the quotes to be powerful, too. And finding them causes me to read on which is a pleasure in creating a post. Hope all is well with you.
you are great and pink. i love it. am your man
Thank you, Willem.
Fabulous post, Jane. So glad you documented the march. Love Dr. King’s quote.
Thanks so much, Jane. Powerful words and actions.
So enjoyed this collection. Your photos are like the heartbeat of San Francisco!
Thanks, Freddie. It felt like it! What great energy in the city.
What a Great post… Love all the photos! Strong words.
Thank you, Louise. Glad you found it inspiring. It was good to be there.
“Organized love”…I like that idea.
Hi Sharon, Isn’t that a grand idea. Joan Baez closed with “We Shall Overcome”… the rain helped wash away my tears.
Superb…powerful messages…We have to unite and stand firm. Well done.
Yes, we do, Paula. These gatherings educate and unify. Thank you.
Great images….”I will not go back quietly to the 1950s’
Thanks, Sue. That was a good one.
Indeed…
Great photo’s of a march I sympathise with wholheartedly…
Thank you, Noortje. I imagine there may be more…
Great captures Jane. Love this!
