Don't know the plant name, but pretty pink flower

The Ferry Bldg - a beacon of light along the Embarcadero in San Francisco

Photo taken at night of a brick clock tower lit up. In the foreground are pieces of concrete, square tubes at various angles, creating a tangled piece of art.

Interesting #angles for the #blueskyartshow at San Francisco’s MOMA during the depths of the early COVID era.

Purple, blue and pink angles and illuminated art installation at SF MOMA. It was eerily quiet as few were venturing out during the early pandemic. A woman’s reflection is caught in the glass wearing a mask. She looks trapped in the installation.

La Purisma Mission, Lompoc, CA

Photo looking down an outside, hallway of an old, Spanish mission. The dark wood beamed ceiling is angled down and held up by square pillars. There is an open, rounded entryway at the other end. Here are a few dark wood chairs, lanterns lights and windows on the wall opposite the pillars. And a big rusted bell hangs down center foreground. The walkway is brick cobblestone.

Watched this kestrel (I think), constantly swooping down on the red tailed hawk. Maybe it wanted that rooftop position for itself.

Photo looking up at a rooftop, with cloudless blue sky as background...seen is the back of a red tailed hawk looking up at a kestrel (?) swooping down towards it.

Cloud formation over the hills east of Nipomo, CA, a couple weeks ago, offer a little hope of rain...fyi-never happened.

Photo of brown, scattered bushes and sandy dirt, with blueish mountain range in distance, and a bit of blue sky with a large thunder cloud.

Lots of lines going on here - The Gherkin, London

Photo of The Gherkin, a structure shaped as a gherkin, with windows heavily framed creating lines circling the building...different shades of blue in the strips of circling windows. In foreground is brown, multi-storied building filled with windows.

Watercolor - homes on sticks over grassy inlet. Houses of varying colors - purple, blue, yellows. Background are dark green trees and light blue sky.
