Summer went by like the breeze

caressing the wheat fields 

in the harvest season....



the excitement did run high...

nonetheless, enough to sustain
our expectations 
Stern Grove music concert

the free concerts in the city 
perked up to a higher pitch
the city folks mood for enjoyment
and fun.
Aubrey at the range
Aubrey went to the US Open qualifying
try out.... we practiced putting together
before the event

tourists at Fort Point
art chat in the Legion of Honor museum

attended an art opening reception
at the Studio Gallery on Pacific St.



Heather, a fellow artist posing for me at Studio 13...

Stacy, a tourist from Toronto found time to pose
as an artist





Art wise, i sketched charcoal  

Marissa sat for this portraiture
and painted portraits
just for fun ...click the image then
click your forward arrow to see
the animated progress of the painting


and I'm glad to be part of a music/video project
for  SF musicians documenting their observations
in music form of the art and artists life in the city.
Summer seems to be the season that brings to fullness
life that for a while went dormant in winter,
Joggers and hikers take the 2 to 4 miles hike in Pacifica
on a nice and mild  or even warmer sunny day
be forewarned fella !

joggers uphill and downhill


just an exercise

howdy !
hikers this many can scare a lion...?!!!
it's just another mile....
another sign means the park rangers are serious....

It really doesn't scare me a bit...
when i was a kid ...I had a face to face
intimidation with a lion ....I'd say 
a foot or a foot and a half away
was a reasonable estimation of our distance
...he growled....
so I growled back...
then he double growled...
guess what?
nothing happened ...he went his way
... before i could triple growl...
 as the security guard pulled my shirt 
collar to stay away
from the 3 inch tempered glass
that separated me from the 
disappointed beast...
view of Pacific ocean from the hills
Anyway I started my way back
before a highly defined growl
may spoil the joy of the hike... 
to have a glimpse of these flowers
that are quickly disappearing as fall
is already around the corner...
and enjoy memories of new acquaintances...
in the summer gone by...

that's all folks !

Bonne nuit !
Gute Nacht !
Hasta la vista !
Mata Ne!
