Magestic - Week Six 2012

I guess these are Eucalyptus trees. At least that is how I remember them from the fragrance. Taken at the Presidio in San Francisco on a clear, crisp day. What happened to week 5 you ask? Good question. I stashed my camera somewhere and cannot find it. Once it turns up, I will post them.

Cherry Blossoms - Week Five 2012

Finally found the camera with the shots from week five. The pink flowers are from the cherry tree in my yard. The white ones I have no clue about. They hang over the rear fence from the house on the other side. These didn't quite turn out as planned. I was using the macro setting on the camera. That is still an option I need to figure out.

Rocky Road - Week Four 2012

I have a certain fascination with stairs. Where they lead. Who has used them. This location is the home of dear friends. I have done shots here before. I love this place so much. Three more shots under the cut.

After the Rain - Week Three 2012

 

Looking out my front door. Clearly I need to clean the window and get the broom out of hiding. Posting this late but I did manage to take the shot in the correct week so it counts. I am counting it anyway.

Not my best shot but whatever. Used a different camera this time. Canon PowerShot Elph with 12.1 megapixels which is far better than my other two. It isn't my camera - I sort of inherited it.

Thistle and Web - Week Two 2012

I have always been fascinated with spiders' webs. And thistles. You can expect more like this from me in future shots. With luck the quality will improve. These look scratchy to me.

Toll - Week One 2012

I tried doing this last year. If you look at my archives you will note that I did not get very far. I am going to do this again, for myself and with no particular theme. Truly a 52 weeks of whatever. I may write a piece of fiction at times or simply caption the shots. Mainly I just want to consistently upload a shot a week.

This photo was taken on the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge. The clouds looked amazing through the steel of the bridge. I only wish I had captured better angles.

Over the River and Thru the Woods

I rarely go anywhere without being the one behind the wheel but I had a rare moment yesterday that allowed me to be a passenger. I took some shots on the way to Thanksgiving dinner that I have always wanted to capture.

They are blurry in some case because they were taken in a moving car. I also had not realized the camera was on Sepia but it was a happy surprise since the effect gives these shots a vintage feel. They are untouched, just re-sized.

First few are on the San Mateo Bridge which spans the San Francisco Bay Peninsula just south of the airport. The rest are on the road to Brentwood.
