Twelvemonth

Two views: interior and exterior patio of Twelvemonth, Burlingame

Twelvemonth food: chilaquiles, avocado toast, soft serve, salad

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.

I was afraid it would fade away, but it has recently been refreshed!

Such an interesting wall, this is...

And I watched the birds come and go...

Sunshine at Land’s End

 

Photos of Sutro Baths, yellow lupine, and a stone lion

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

Bird of paradise and pincushion protea in bloom

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.

These plants at Salesforce Transit Center's fourth floor rooftop garden are bursting with color.

Two nasturtium flowers: one yellow with orange markings, and the other orange

Here at home, nasturtiums are brightening my walkway.
