Thursday Challenge - Reflections - Falling Head First Into San Francisco Bay - April 18, 2013

Looks like this wasn't such a bad house at one time - now neglected and 
falling forward into the water - part of the view from a favorite hang out, "The 
Ramp", as I sipped a morning bloody mary.

I am participating in 

Thursday Challenge: Reflection

Outdoor Wednesday, # 215 -Looking Out at San Francisco Bay From the Hills of Daly City - February 20, 2013

This picture was taken on a nice sunny day from Wembley Drive in Daly City.
It runs almost to Skyline Drive which separates the city of Pacifica from Daly City,
both in San Mateo County.  From parts of Skyline Drive, you can actually see
San Francisco Bay on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.  One thing 
I do miss when I'm living in India is my proximity to the ocean - especially when
 I'm living in places like Jaipur!

One Shock Sunday: A Halloween Special - Haunted Pumpkins - October 31, 2010

One Shock Sunday:  A Halloween Special - Haunted Pumpkins - October 31, 2010

For many months they grew,

On hills above the sea,

Kissed by morning fog,

Awaiting destiny.

At night, when all lay sleeping,

Evil spirits walked the rows,

And picked out certain pumpkins,

Made note of by black crows.

Instead of fertilizer,

The birds made sure each day,

That a ghastly preparation,

Was added to their spray.

As Halloween approached,

Those pumpkins, prized by all,

Were the first bought by the public,

The biggest and the small.

They went to towns all over,

The San Francisco Bay,

For thousands came from everywhere,

To celebrate that day.

No one ever knew,

That for one hundred souls,

Tragedy would befall them,

The spirits had to meet their goals.
