It just takes me less than half hour to finish a post from start to end; I just write what I want to talk about and the words just flow; I don't proof read it or edit it. As such, my mind is cluttered with lot of things; work and otherwise. I took a long vacation; which I will talk about in my next post.
I am yet to come out of my vacation bliss, I got to work; but my mind still visualizes that surreal and magical experience, and I still cant believe I went on a vacation to such an exotic place. The place is a suspense until next post :-)
So, until I get out of my block, you are spared thankfully from reading me. Few random pictures though
Tapping wind energy
Good bunch of grapes make good wine.
Surrounded by valleys with dry grass
Liked this landscape
Wines anyone? Merlot, Chardonnay, Zifandel, Petite Sarah, Port........
His name was Toby.
A good green bunch
Loved the cloud pattern
Cable car of San Francisco
He was all gold
The Pacific ocean
SFO skyline and the Bay bridge
Watch tower at Alcatraz
Nice place to live?
Water tank at the Alcatraz.
Tried to take a different picture with these flowery stem in the foreground and the SFO skyline as the background
The underground metro system. The BART goes under the Pacific for 7 minutes. Scary to think of it.
A nice looking building
Good pictures and answers...

ReplyDeleteUpright
very
senior citizens
George and Henrietta
earlier of
the Bay area.
A bad health scare,
son's job scare
tangling
with Arnold,
his budget cuts
for teachers.
Now,
out
for an organized
trip,
from their
assisted care
Senior Home
in Oakland.
Now a bit bent,
in Body,
down to the essentials,
hardy
and sturdy
for their age,
George turns
towards
a lost
and barely attentive
Henrietta,
smiles
and says,
"remember
that dinner
at Ghirardelli Square ?".
