1.

Alcatelegraph

 Semi-urban east bay scene

A burst of living color

 Interstice with trees

 Tattoo emporium

Serving an ever-growing need

An ever-growing need

 for some shade

Out-of-business

The pawn-shop of suspicion

Haunted by old despair

The Smokehouse

on Telegraph Ave

Corner of my old street

2. 

The Piedmont

Playing field on Linda

Schoolyard

Great knobby trees along here

Wisteria coming on

Overarching oaks

I go by here often

Contemporary dad and son

Abode of the succulents

This kid just got off our bus

Bye, kid

Cemetery cul-de-sac

Green hills behind

Columbarium

Repository of human ash

Youth under a tree

evocative shadows

helicopter sky

The Ridge

under construction

former Ghosttown shopping center

The burgeoning green

Fellow was painting 

New melodrama mural

Berkeley playing field 

in my old neighborhood,

Former Iceland at other end

3.. 

The Piedmont Redux

 The Little League

 

 Two baseball games at once

Confident stride

My all-time drive-by favorite shot

I saw the two boys cross Piedmont

Then I lost them
 but tried anyway

 This spooky little one

Twigged the old guy on the bus

 I love to see children run

A vicarious joy

 Looking at the world 

through my windshield

Pleasant Valley Saturday
