The Blue Angels performing on a beautiful day in San Francisco. Taken at the lookout point of the Golden Gate Bridge. Not perfect, but hey, I'm learning to use the video mode of the camera. The Blue Angels were spectacular. Made you feel mighty proud to witness such a spectacle. The onlookers were busy watching four of the planes maneuver a stunt when one jet snuck from behind and zoomed behind us. Everybody ducked for cover, and our ears were blasted with the engine's roar. The earthshaking thunder reverberated through the cores of our souls and screams and laughter ensued. For one brief moment, the Lookout over the Golden Gate Bridge on the San Francisco side sounded like the Tower of Babel.

Flowers from my mom's back yard

Gee I love taking macro shots. Here is a bluish/purple geranium and a desert orchid.

garden spider in San Francisco

Here is a garden spider taken in San Francisco. It was smaller than my pinky nail, but it looks mighty fierce. Don't know if it's the same one, but here is the same type of spider trying to hide in a leaf after the flash scared it off...

Spider and Begonia

Here is our garden spider, sunning itself waiting for a meal...and a closeup of a begonia in its awesome splendor. If you click on the spider, you can see all of the hairs on it!
