Hi Sarah, Hopefully, you’ll be back again soon. Glad you like the egret shot– they’ve done a fabulous environmental watershed project bringing that area back to its original glory. Also, adding a wonderful viewing area above in the Presidio designed by the same architect who did the NY Highline. Progress! Glad you enjoyed these- thanks very much.

The City on the Bay… it certainly does take a piece of your heart and never lets it go! What treasures these fantastic images are to take you back to the time when you were there. That first shot through the vertical cables of the bridge is simply marvelous! Then again, each and every image tugs at some memory stored in my brain. I think I need to go look at your Golden Gate portfolio now. Thanks so very much for sharing these.
