The sky is angry!

I took an angry self portrait today combined with a threatening sky pic I took awhile back and decided to pretend I know how to blend in PS.

Evil bird graffiti

More graffiti found while wandering the alleys of SF. I like that it looks like he is about to sneak up the stairs and deliver a bomb.

Where do the children play...

...when it is raining outside?  It was raining today so a normally packed playground in South Park was empty today. I just imagine a bunch a kids looking out their windows wishing they could be outside playing on the swings.

Dry Clean

I was again looking for a picture after dark when on the way to the store I passed by our local dry cleaner and was drawn to the neon sign.  When I was processing the photo I noticed the little sign at the bottom that says "We Clean Skins!" with a pic of a bunch of animals in a bathtub. Odd.

Pipes

Some pipes in the alley by my work that I always walk by. Needed a quick pic today so there you go.

Red's Java House

Red's Java House has been around since 1923. It was originally owned by a red haired Irish boxer named Red.  It was frequented by longshoreman over the years. Since it was discovered in the 90's, people of every walk of life have stopped by to enjoy the sun and get a burger and bud for $3.  The port recently raised their rent from $800 to $2,000 plus a percentage of the profits. They have a sign that says "see you after the holidays" but still have not opened their doors in the new year. It is kinda sad if the rumors are true that this SF treasure is closed for good. 

The day that Frankie conquered a few of her fears.

It is funny how children can be afraid of something one day and totally not the next. Frankie was afraid of the swings, the big slide, and the merry go round. In our trip to the park today she conquered all of them with fearless enthusiasm. For extra measure, she scared me by climbing the bars up to the top of the park structure.
