Day 249 Road Trip With The Best

Woo Hoo! Finally! This is the first internet connection we have had in the full 7 days of our visit here in San Francisco. Boy oh boy what a fabulous tour through the Golden City we had!

It was all about the architecture...

the cuisine...

and the diverse cultures....

and the music...

the quirky 'be yourself' culture....

but most especially the friends :)

And the hilarity of girlfriends together. It was a blast!

We're (Thelma & Louise) headed up the highway home but we had to stop and say hello to you all!

love, robin

Oh, the look on those fishes faces! I guess we know the last thoughts that ran through their heads.

Robin, your images and stories take me away from one vignette to the next. It somehow feels like they're from another time and place... somewhere from the past and yet, perhaps, the future. Regardless, I want to step in and stay awhile. You are indeed, VERY talented.

I don't need to do a photo tour of SF. You've captured it all. Perfectly. Beautifully. Well, except for the Incredible Flying Relyn Story. That's mine to tell, I guess.

So funny that hubby and I were, albeit briefly, in SFO at the same time as you! It is such a beautiful and fun city. We commented that we'd like to spend more time their with the kidlets next time we're in CA. Looking forward to more pics.

So much fun! What is that building in the first photograph? And I agree with Elizabeth, those fish do look sad! Poor yummy fish... I like that spiky knapsack, too.

PS: I saw your photos in a magazine over the weekend! Congratulations! They look amazing - well, of course they do - you are a terrific photographer.

LOVE it! Everything! I want to end up out there when we retire. It's just so . . . free spirited! Like me!! xoxo

Now THAT, was a San Franscisco treat, baby! lol
Loved the walk through San Fran through your eyes, so full of life. In particular the photo of the fish, and the woman in pink eyeing up the young couple with disdain. Too funny!

You've done a good job in capturing San Fran's unmatched diversity. Lovely photo of Julie in her '20s getup. And the fishes! They do look like little shrunken heads. xo

Love to see all the pics
Love and hugs to you all

Posted by: JudyG | July 16, 2009 at 10:57 PM

That first photo is breathtaking; I will never look at Mission Dolores the same way again! Thank you for driving all that way to see us here in San Francisco. I loved spending time with you and Relyn; I only wished it was longer. xoxoxo

Robin Laws and Bird Tweets

Hello, I'm Robin Laws the creator of Bird Tweets. My blog began as a self imposed challenge that i take 365 photos, one each day for a year. It didn't take long for me to realize it was going to be something more expansive than a photo a day. Capturing life in all it's exquisite detail is a passion that i now see as the perfect means for me to make my small but important contribution to helping make the world a more sane place. I have learned and practiced the craft of photography with great enthusiasm and passion and aim to offer a message of hope, compassion, friendship and love. If i accomplish that in small measure on a post then each day i will consider myself to be a good citizen of the world.
