Fall 2008

My new sister cat Velcro getting some C's.

Velcro and Lily snoozling.

Golden nopal cactus fruits warmed in the afternoon sunlight
in the yard of the Rosicrutian Egyptian Museum in San Jose.

Close-up of cactus fruits featuring the hair-like spines.

Array of cactus fruits in different stages of ripeness.

Lily is as intoxicated as I am on magnolia blossom scent.

The corruscations of the Santa Cruz coastline.

Josh and Nathan, brothers, consumate geeks, darlings both.

The Pyramidical Skylinescraper of Economic Dhoom. Or something.

The strange and wonderful mural on the back of Rainbow Grocery co-op.

Root mural in Noe Valley neighborhood makes me swoon.
Whispy sirrus clouds enhance the texture of paint strokes.

Close-up of giant broccoli mural on facing building wall.

Purple passionflower still vibrating from the bees.

A Utah-born urban climber puts his skills to lucrative use.

Patch of fascinating purple-tinged three-, four-, and five-leafed clover.

Ventilation stacks blending into the cityscape reminds me of Gaudi.

On top of Twin Peaks hills in front of a large tower.

The road divides around a ridge of hilltops.

Twin Peaks hillside, where coyote and tick brush meet the megalopolis.

Returning in the afternoon for the facing side of the vegetable mural.
Artichoke and borage flowers! :D And a mural within a mural.

Staircases, railings, banisters, and lattice shadows in the angled light.
