Maritime Museum's Fabulous Fishy walls

Wonderfully refreshed WPA era original murals by Hilaire Hiler - "Lost Continents of Atlantis and Mu" at the San Francisco Maritime Museum. The other exhibits are a bit skimpy since the refurb - not a patch on what they used to be, and they say it could be 3 years at least before they get the next level going.
But the bathrooms are worth a visit.

Windy day near Trans Bay

Wandering around a part of downtown I rarely go anymore, noticed the dreary old Trans Bay Terminal is gone and a kind of plastic Camelot fairground with bus gates replacing it - to be upgraded by something much grander some years hence. Here and there demolished buildings contribute twisted rebar, rubble and razor wire. This unfortunate brolly, (or is it a kilt?) -  failed to make it over. Sad.

Tangled up and blue.

Wandering around the Mission. Flora. Municipal definitions. Intoxicated color.

Veggies go so nice with Mayo

How important is the mayonnaise? Ask the salad climbing the walls of the old Best Foods factory in the Mission.

Actually the new 'thousand Islands' color works for me-it was a tad predictable before; mayo... creamy yellow - bit naf.

Suddenly I'm focused on 'Red'

It must be plum season. Always my favorite time of the year in the Mission - and as the lucky owner of an old plum tree in the back yard, something I look forward to with great interest every year. I even plan my vacation around the fruiting days so as not to miss a single orb, barring the odd one or two that get snagged by birds or some mystery animal, most probably a beady-eyed denizen of the shadows. Only this week my suspicions were confirmed that nothing in the local fruit stalls comes close to the sweet intensity of the taste and flavor from a garden plum! There is absolutely no comparison. I feel sorry for all the sad chumps out there who think the red balls of 'Blah' they take home from the colorful veggie stands are even the same league. But then I always have had delusions of fruit grandeur.
