Yerba Buena in sun


This stairwell faces Howard street, and I don't think I've posted any photos before - the fountain is always the focus of shared photos (and postcards) of Yerba Buena Gardens.  But it deserves some appreciation - it's a nice spot!

A favorite installation back at SFMoMA


I am fully vaccinated, and took my first trip to a museum since March (or late February?) 2020, and was DELIGHTED - beyond delighted - to see a favorite Studio Olafur Eliasson piece in the SFMoMA atrium bridge! With capacity limits still in effect, I didn't need to wait long to take my turn to walk through the piece, which is different in each direction, thanks to the careful design and arrangement of facets that are either dark or colorful.

Pink beyond fuchsia


I know I get excessive in my celebrations of spring, but today I think I was celebrating summer... until it got too warm, and I had to flee the sunlight.

Happy-colored house


I adore this house!

Wildfire (relatable for all Californians)


More of Camer1's mural, and a lovely rendition of flames.

Amazonia


Part of a longer, lovely mural by Camer1.

Bougainvillea in the Mission


Between working in San Mateo County and then the pandemic, my wandering in SF has been quite constrained, and so many murals are a great surprise to me.

This one is by Eli Lippert and Monica Magtoto (you can see Eli's close up photos of this one at elilippert.com - I learned that Eli also worked on the Brighton Manor murals, near me).  It's from 2019.

Bee


This cherry tree is on a very different schedule from the others in the neighborhood, though I believe it is because it is a different variety.  The bee (or friendly bee-like insect) doesn't mind.

Peace Plaza in Spring


I had an appointment near Japan Center, and took a walk through.  It's busy!  On a weekday!  Some beloved things are gone (I'll miss you, Pika Pika!), but others remain with complex monitoring of how many people are inside at any one time.  And hand sanitizer everywhere.
It was reassuring.  I will return!

Cherry blossom riot


The best kind of riot.
