During a trip to Big Sur, we planned on heading to McWay Falls, a waterfall that empties directly into the Pacific. Unfortunately, you can’t get too close, but still. Gorgeous view anyway. We o...
For Sunday brunch, I met up with Stephanie and Julie at La Note in Berkeley. Sadly enough, I didn’t get any good pics despite the photogenic food and window seat. But still — good people,...
Dang, this place is cool. It’s just cool. Chock full of books, good food, coffee, hidden nooks and crannies where you can curl up and read… this place rocks. If I lived in SLO, I’d ...
I don’t know much about Stern Grove (a small area in Golden Gate Park) except that it’s a venue often used for concerts or weddings. But it’s a sweet little spot. And parking was SO...
The Pismo Pier is so lovely. Perfect spot for watching the sunset.
While in Big Sur, I knew one place I wanted to try out solely because of Rick Poon’s blog post. (His post puts mine to shame, but I’m still forging ahead anyway.) Big Sur Bakery is now my...
Did you catch the “super moon” on Saturday night? I can’t really say I noticed the 14% increase in perceived size, but it did seem notably brighter.
Bello Mundo is a coffee shop in San Luis Obispo, and it’s just the type I like — nice light, charming decor, and great coffee. I highly recommend. Bello Mundo 980 Monterey St San Luis Obi...
A year ago, I put up my photography portfolio for the first time. I promised myself I’d update it regularly. (Of course, I never did. Terrible.) With the domain expiration looming, I decided th...
Do you shoot with your camera’s monotone picture style? I shoot in RAW, so I usually don’t think about picture styles (which don’t transfer over to RAW files). But the other day, I ...
While walking along a trail in a neighborhood (which had its own private library!?!), we came across some cows grazing. Because Danville is just that wonderful. Love that town.
I saw these heirloom eggs that were naturally colored delicate shades of green and brown, and I had to get them. It seemed appropriate, being Easter and all. Now to make something with them! (Ack, bu...
…I’ll have to fake it with Photoshop. Ranunculus are just so darn pretty. I think I’ll have to pop by a farmers market this weekend and see if I can pick up some more.
Meet Misty, my dad’s new 4-month-old beagle puppy. She’s one of the most playful pups I’ve seen. And so, so quick — hardly a still moment with her! (And I now have some extra ...
Whew, I am certainly welcoming Friday this week. Happy Friday, folks! I’m looking forward to meeting a little puppy this weekend. How about you — any plans for the weekend?
My favorite part of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is the sky tram. It sails over the boardwalk and the beach, and gives an awesome view. We rode it once, thinking it’d be a wonderful ride, but...
Hidden Villa is a farm in the Los Altos Hills, surrounds by acres and acres of trails. It also doubles as a summer camp. (So charming!)
Happy weekend! Hope it’s a fun one.
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, JD made some Irish coffee. So delicious! And so simple. The oh-so-simple recipe: Start off with 2 tsp salted caramel hot chocolate. If you’re naughty, add i...
Oh Sideboard, you are most favorite cafe ever because of your amazingly delicious food, beautiful lighting, Blue Bottle coffee, and ginger cookies so good it’s ridiculous. Sideboard The Danvill...
The South Park area of San Francisco must be one of the tiniest neighborhoods I’ve seen in the city. But parking was surprisingly easy to come by, with lots of interesting restaurants around. I...
So funny to see how my photography interests change over time. For a while, I was super into photographing cafes. Then city scenes. Now farms. What could be next? I’m guessing underwater photog...
We had dinner one night at Azuma, an unsuspecting Japanese restaurant that makes awesome tonkatsu. (Although their ochazuke — the salmon and rice dish over which you pour tea — was not ne...
It’s been so sunny and warm here lately. This picture was taken on one of those afternoons. On a totally unrelated note, the Canon 5d mkiii has been preoccupying my mind lately! I even had a dr...
One of the things that’s on my photography short list is photographing farm animals. So when my husband found out about Emma Prusch Park, a park in which chickens, peacocks, and sheep were wand...
A picture of mine was published in a Russian food magazine called Pervoe Vtoroe Tretye, for their autumn issue. I can’t read a word of the magazine, but it looks really charming! In case you...
Went with a friend to visit the Painted Ladies. The last time I was there in June (see it here), it was incredibly cold and foggy. This time, in February, it was clear and quite warm. SF weather, I t...
A friend and I visited Spice Kit to check out their Vietnamese banh mi. Turned out to be great! (I recommend the marinated chicken). So easy to find parking, too. Spice Kit 405 Howard St (between Fre...
I loved seeing the inside of the boats inside the marina in Half Moon Bay. Such character. Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is a fun one.
