There were a few of these green and red parrots squawking as we descended Telegraph Hill. This one held still long enough for a decent photo.

Wouldn't be a photowalk without a photo of the walkers photographing me.

The steps down Telegraph Hill afforded a nice glimpse of the bay and Treasure Island.

I got a handful of shots as this hummingbird forraged near the road. Yeah, it's just brown, no fancy colors, but I particularly like the feet in the bottom shot.

This guy sits above the entrance to a federal government building in the financial district. The sculpture is a little too fascist for my taste.

That's the Transamerica Building looming overhead. The shot was taken just outside a small courtyard formed by these three buildings. There's quite a lot of vertical space to cover in this shot.

Found on the side of a delivery van in the financial district - some kind of restaurant supply & service company. Who wouldn't like Mr. Fry?

This is the last of the PhotoWalk pictures.

One of the classic triangular buildings on Market Street. At the end of a long day, the sun's not ideal, but I like the shape.

Back to San Diego

Back again, this time for a friend's wedding. Had some time Friday night for a nice dinner in La Jolla with this view out over the bay.

Is That A Claw In Your Cocktail...?

Sunday brunch at the Crab Catcher restaurant required a little...motivation. This worked. Pretty darned tasty, too.

This batch of photos came from San Diego, where we celebrated Cinco de Mayo in margaritas in old town.

Found this solar representation in the courtyard of a pottery and trinkets shop we always wander through.

Such a colorful string of mini guitars. I'm not convinced this is the best framing I could've found, but it was early in the day and I'm still getting used to the 55-200 lens.

There was a surf comeptition going on as we passed the beach. They had their own photographer. She had a serious telephoto lens.

There's something comforting about the pose and the wave crashing in the background.

Part of a car show in old town for the celebration. The interior was nice on this one, but I really like this name detail on the long red panel.
