The asparagus must’ve escaped from the produce truck. And, judging by the dandelion pattern, are they being cultivated? 🙂

Thanks, David…hard to explain where it came from…! I am not sure if they plant those dandelions…it’s a field used for sports so I doubt it.

I like the GG Lamp photo, Jane. Besides being near a dear to me, the difference between the light on the face of the tower and the edge is striking. From the saturation in the color, it looks like it was early morning or late afternoon, if you were on a bicycle on the west sidewalk.

Thanks so much, Allan. Believe it or not, I was a passenger in our car, thankful for traffic. I was happy with the tower as a backdrop. I also love the round lights surrounding the towers.

Those round sidewalk lights are a favorite of mine, such an Art Deco design. Until the EShop got a scissor-lift we used an extension ladder to work on the light. It was a rush to climb the ladder and tie off the top before opening up the fixture. The view from the top of a ladder while facing the Bay below is incredible.

Allan, I cannot imagine doing that! A rush indeed, and I bet the view was amazing!

Beautiful poppies, almost tangerine color – we won’t have poppies blooming at home in NY (corn poppy), until Memorial Day

The poor asparagus…glad your palette grew to love them. I find the oddest things on the streets of SF. We had a pretty good spring for wildflowers considering how dry it was compared to last year’s super bloom. Glad you enjoyed this series.
