for ourselves

Be a lantern

unto thyself

unto the world

Emotions are fleeting

plum blossoms

 soon fall away

Reason to be cheerful

A flock of ducks

Chinese mail art

Another angle on the Town

Hill Castle Apartments Hotel

quite an edifice,

Oakland architecture

echoes the deco

Down by the estuary

we're in the midst

of a semi-heat-wave

But 75degrees after weeks

of brisk 50s and 60s

feels sunny and hot

Since the flowers

seem to love it

so do I

Yikes

My Bloody Valentine

Applique

on cement

retaining wall

Dragons come easily

to the imagination

castles on a hill
