Lines to the third

A and I went to see if the traditional miles of hanging lights have returned: sadly, they have not.  Yet, somehow, I was taking photos...

Plant Love at the Sunnyside Conservatory (6 December 2025)

 

Two stages of a blossom (banksia)

It's December, and increasingly cold, but sun-loving plants are getting just enough light to put on a show.

Five plant images: agave, protea, bromeliad, angels trumpet, and an unknown flower

I'm still impressed with how folded up the angel's trumpet flower is before it opens...  I haven't caught one at this stage previously.

Let's Glow! (5 December 2025)

3 images of projections on the San Francisco Ferry Building

Let's Glow is here!  December 5 - 14, 2025, this art festival is lighting up buildings around downtown San Francisco with gorgeous animated art projections.

I've been to two of the sites so far, and both delighted me.

December Evenings (3 December 2025)

Four images display the setting sun and downtown SF from afar

The sunsets have been dramatic (one night, they rose to EPIC, though my Cousin described some of the views as 'apocalyptic' - not the impression I was hoping for!).

The nights have been cold and clear.

The moon, including the "super moon," has remained bright and impressive.

While the air quality has been declining day by day, the lights have been lovely.
