Filoli Gardens

Frank, Jeannine and I drove to Filoli House and Garden down in Edgewood on the Peninsula. We arrived on a perfectly warm sunny day in California. The strong sun light washes out many of the subtle colors.

Hayes Valley Roof Garden

Newly sow greens and vegetables on the roof of the Zen Center with views of City Hall, Nob Hill and Russian Hill.

Momiji Maple Nursery

The entrance to Momiji Nursery is marked by this large Hollywood Juniper.

Octavia Boulevard

In Hayes Valley along the old Caltrans right of way, the city allows urban farming until the parcel of land is sold to developers. This little community garden makes the otherwise bleak walk from the Mission to Hayes Street a lot more interesting.



Look at those really short sunflowers!

Heron's Head Park

Recently restored wetlands where the PG&E power plant used to be. It's gone. That's Hunter's point on the horizon.
