When my friend, Merle, was visiting recently from Hilo, Hawaii, one of the stops
on our tour of San Francisco was the Palace of Fine Arts. While the temperatures
were still cool, it was a glorious sunny day and we got some wonderful photos.
I loved the tree shadows and I am posting them both to Sundays in My City and
Shadow Shot Sunday, #159. I enjoy both of these memes very much and urge you
to check them out and add your photography!

It was so nice to be there on a Monday when there was almost no one else around.
Of course, all that is going to change, now that school vacations have begun and
tourism is going to be in full swing in our beautiful area of the country!
Weeping Willows have long been favorites of mine.
ReplyDeleteThis wonderful noted place.
ReplyDeleteA collection of sightseeing photographs of San Francisco is my important souvenir.
Many slopes are left in my impression very much.
San Francisco is scenic wonderland.
Thank you.

It looks a beautiful spot and that tree is casting a lovely shadow. Great shot! I have to go to San Francisco one day.
ReplyDeleteI just love the second photo! beautiful trees!
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your photos are amazing, the green of the trees is so vivid.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week :-)
I want to sit under one of those trees with a good book and a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteThe second shot of the willow, reminds me of a tree like that at my grandparents' when I was young. It was great for sitting under in the shade.
ReplyDeleteWillow trees are my absolute favorite. Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteHow I love weeping willows! As a child I used to like to play under one in my "tent" because I was convinced nobody could see me. The second shot is just superb.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you caught the nice weather as well, wonderful shots.

I love trees in almost any format, fully-leafed to bare-boned.
