Twelvemonth
A friend who likes to break us out of our SF habits took us down to plant-based restaurant Twelvemonth in Brisbane, on this gorgeously sunny day. The space was pleasant; the food was pretty; the company was fun.

Sunshine at Land’s End
Sunday the forecast delivered what it promised: sunshine. While it remained misty along the coast, it was clear enough for me to test some color transforming film, and to get plenty of exercise while admiring our local flowers and landscapes.

Spring (springing) around town
The landscaping around town is enjoying the weather, which has been quite foggy and windy of late, and yet they still know it is spring.
Here at home, nasturtiums are brightening my walkway.

Verticals
All of my plans for the weekend were dependent upon sunny weather with sharp shadows. Luckily for me, I left the house at 9am to follow an opening in the clouds. Unluckily for me, that opening lasted less than two hours... But I was happy to have even that!
Here's that garage at UCSF Mission Bay that I once described as where Darth Vader would park, and I meant that as a compliment.

Irresistible surface for texture fiends (Los Federales)
And Morphosis, the firm behind the design, made the other side of the building look COMPLETELY different...
Cherry Blossom Festival
I love cultural festivals! The SF Cherry Blossom festival is lively, and the grand parade is colorful and accessible.
The Taiko drumming groups are fun, fabulous, and can be heard from great distances! Their energy is impressive (and it's almost impossible not to move to their beats).The Cherry Blossom Court, resplendent in gorgeous kimonos as always...
The Taro Mikoshi! The volunteers carrying it were so amped up! They are a small storm of energy as they carry the portable, sake-laden shrine down the street...
It was fun, as always!
