This has to be one of the more photographed views of San Francisco, "The Painted Ladies". They are half a block from my more humble house, and Alamo Square Park, where this photo is taken from, is a beautiful park that on the weekend is mobbed with tourists and photo takers. Folks get their wedding pictures taken with San Francisco as a back drop.
I was just here with Eric's Mom, and we discovered a different part of the park, the place where shoes come to rest and become holders of plants to grow. There is quite a collection there. I puzzle over who thought this up, really-it's a perfect urban gardener thing to do.
And then we had to go to wine country, went all the way up to Healdsburg-it's a trek, but beautiful country.
