197/365 Street(light)s of San Francisco

197/365
Street(light)s of San Francisco
I was totally enamored with the eclectic street lamps
in San Francisco! 




 There seemed to be a different style for each district




 Even Chinatown had their own unique lamps








Now, all I need to do is to visit these same streetlights at night!!

Golden Gate Beauty
 We started our San Francisco weekend off right 
with a trip over the Golden Gate Bridge!



 As you head south on Route 101 there is an exit right before you head over the bridge for Marin Headlands...
If you are ever in the area, take the exit!!



Especially around sunset!

When your BFF gives you a memory box before you leave New Jersey a lifetime ago and you keep it, and add to it, every time you see her....
Looking forward to seeing her again this week!

184/365 Pie Until I Die

184/365
Pie Until I Die
The Bluebonnet Cafe is a "must visit" whenever I visit 
the Texas Hill Country. The pie is awesome...but the grits are divine!!


and for those of you who wondered....
 I did get a few fireworks pictures...



 No room for stabilization(tripod) though(we had a family of five squished on the tiny balcony outside of my hotel room :-) but they did capture the spirit...It was nice to enjoy the fireworks with no worries about any pups
getting spooked.

171/365 Happy Fourth of July

171/365
Groot says Happy Independence Day to All his furiends in the USA
(on Earth of course)



For those who don't know, Groot is a character in the Marvel Universe Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy.  He looks like a great big tree in the first movie and sacrifices himself to save his friends....Well, almost sacrifices himself. A twig survives, creating Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2(the most recent  movie)!  


Here is a clip of Baby Groots funnier moments....
