You should see the murals on buildings in the Mission District, mostly with historic themes of the arrival of the Spanish missionaries, etc. <br /><br /><br />sheila -<br />I was so happy with my header photo, too. I took it but didn't realize how lucky I was with the bee in the shot until I downloaded it to my computer. Half the time, I don't really get them!<br /><br /><br />Unknown Mami -<br />I like those streets, too - and all the streets that cross Dolores also have some pretty great houses.<br /><br /><br />Indrani -<br />With all your traveling, I would so love to have you visit here!!<br /><br /><br />Amy -<br />That was a pretty good artist who did the mural on that house! We have some really good folks who do that street art in this city.<br /><br /><br />myrelish -<br />I have loved my 33 years of living in this area. It is such a wonderful, culturally diverse city and, as you can see, we have such beautiful architecture!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-89969361268477032582011-05-30T22:46:41.445-07:002011-05-30T22:46:41.445-07:00Eternal Lizdom -
I fell in love with San Francisco...Eternal Lizdom -<br />I fell in love with San Francisco when I first visited at eighteen - I knew I wanted to live here and, finally, at 33, I was here. I still love it, 33 years later!<br /><br /><br />Joanna Jenkins -<br />So good to see you, Joanna. Wish you'd come up and visit. I'm still packing, but don't yet know where I'll move!<br /><br /><br />Keetha Broyles -<br />You're funny. I often pass right by those house from Full House. They're over close to the hospital where I go to physical therapy. The Victorians around there are incredible.<br /><br /><br />Jenny -<br />I've missed a few Thursday Alphabes - I have had so much trouble with both my computer and Blogger lately. My desktop died, beyond repair, a few months ago, now my laptop is malfunctioning, partly because it can't handle all that I downloaded from Carbonite or my files would have been lost. I really need to buy a new laptop but, until I get a new place to live, can't consider it!<br /><br /><br />urban muser -<br />I am so glad you enjoyed my photos. I am constantly taking pictures of houses in San Francisco. I don't think I'll ever run out of beautiful photo ops!<br /><br /><br />Kathe W. -<br />I have never seen a house with trees and foliage painted on it. I guess it's easy gardening that way. You don't have to worry about watering and fertilizing!! There are a lot of murals, however, depicting scenes and cultural things.<br /><br /><br />Tara R. -<br />The Victorians, especially, have all sorts of <br />"gingerbread" decorations. That can be a problem, though,in an earthquake. I love the way they are painted - though I'd never seen a house with trees painted right on!<br /><br /><br />betchai -<br />What amazes me is that one section of the Golden Gate bridge can be in fog and another section can be bathed in sunshine. It makes for some wonderful photography!<br /><br /><br />rosaria -<br />I am in limbo. But I am trying to pack a couple of boxes a day. I still have three physical therapy appointments left ( three weeks ) and I <br />am very happy that I have gotten much more range of motion in both shoulders. I am still hoping to go to India after my 67th birthday in October but I think, after my 6 month stay there, I am going to have to have total shoulder replacement surgery. The pain is just so bad!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-18263454231789885662011-05-30T22:26:22.839-07:002011-05-30T22:26:22.839-07:00When I think of the maintenance required for those...When I think of the maintenance required for those paint jobs whew!Sukhmandir Kaurhttp://sikhism.about.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-26187761345535768602011-05-30T20:43:23.769-07:002011-05-30T20:43:23.769-07:00I always loved driving the streets of SF-- That s...I always loved driving the streets of SF-- That second house paint job is interesting.<br /><br />Hope all's well with you, Carmen, Cheers, jjJoanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-77729382576250056982011-05-30T19:00:55.149-07:002011-05-30T19:00:55.149-07:00So glad you risked life and limb to share these pi...So glad you risked life and limb to share these pictures with us!!!
