The Not-At-All Highly Anticipated Return of Photo of the Day

The Saturday night carnival.

Photo of the day: Masks

More from the cemetery girl.

Photo of the day: Optimism

Another day, another cemetery. This is from a local Jewish cemetery. The big surprise there was the grave of Wyatt Earp (yeah, that Wyatt Earp).

Photo of the day: Gateway

Meanwhile, back at the cemetery ...

Photo of the day: Pieta

More from the Italian Cemetery. A rather impressively-sized Pieta.

Photo of the day: Little Girl's Got Game

Yesterday Husband and I went on a photo safari to one of our favorite locations -- a cemetery. This was taken at the Italian Cemetery in Colma. There were hundreds of monuments with photographs on them, but this one really struck me. It's both sad and weird. Sad in that this poor child obviously died way too young. But weird because...well...what the heck is the story with the racket?

Photo of the day: 10

Yeah, on a cute scale this little guy rates a 10 in my book.

Sorry I have nothing but kitten photos lately. Tis the season...

Photo of the day: Love

From the facade of Stanford Memorial Church. I'm not sure this is quite how I pictured Love, but it's nice nonetheless.

Photo of the day: Tiger Lily

This girl is currently resident in the kitten nursery and has totally stolen my heart. She's sweet, playful, cuddly, and so f*****g cute I can't stand it!

Photos of the day: The Patriarch and the New Kid


The SF Zoo has a nice large enclosure for their family of gorillas. The silverback patriarch has been a fixture for years and is the model of "you don't want to mess with this." The new kid is 2-years old and loves to sit at the top of trees and be tall.

Photo of the day: One Happy Zebra

From our zoo trip (obviously). This zebra was having a lovely time rolling around on the grass. I know it looks as if I'd just shot him, but I assure you he's fine.

Photo of the day: Presenting

Husband took a few days off of work and we played tourist in the Bay Area. One of our stops was at the SF Zoo where it is, apparently, peacock mating season. Every male peacock in the place (and there are dozens of them) was showing off his finery hoping to attract the ladies (of which we saw exactly one). Anyway, this guy was strutting around by the rhino pen. Good luck Mr. Peacock.

Photo of the day: Take the A Train

OK, it's actually the southbound train out of San Francisco.

Photo of the day: Locked

They really want to keep people out of this particular parking lot.

Photo of the day: The Haunted Tree

Outside the music office in our house there is, apparently, a haunted tree that wants to come in.

Photo of the day: Earth Day

Today is Earth Day. Go out and do something good for our planet. Even if it's just picking up a random piece of trash. And remember that beauty is all around us. Even in the weeds.

Photo of the day: Inside the Upright

From the old piano in my parents' house. I never knew why we had a piano. Nobody in our household of 8 knew how to play.

Photo of the day: Hold the Mayo


I went to a college (San Francisco State) where the campus looked like a mayonnaise factory. This just makes me appreciate beautiful campuses more. Stanford is pretty damned gorgeous.

Photo of the day: Lamp Unto My Feet

Ok, it's actually Lamp Over My Head, but it's in front of Stanford's Memorial Church so I got all hymnal on ya.

Photo of the day: Trim

This is some detail from the front of Stanford's Memorial Church. Husband bought a new camera on Saturday so yesterday we went on a photo safari at Stanford. Lots of pictures of palm trees, the beautiful architecture, and various other scenic wonders. But, being weird, I focus on a section of trim.
