My DFed brother and my son on the green roof of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco a couple years ago.
And my wife and son inside the Ca Academy of Sciences standing next to some humanoid skulls much older than 6,000 years.

Same trip my DFed brother came to visit, we did a guided "mural walk" through the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco.
This one below was one of my favorites. It's on the wall of a restaurant called "Range". Very $$$, but very tasty.
That's all for today. Thanks for starting this thread Coco.

I'm lucky to live in Pembrokeshire, West Wales (about 6 miles from the sea).
I don't know how to make things clickable, but this is a gallery of photos:

I live in a log cabin, although I have many windows, my wood walls don't reflect any light, therefore my house is dark inside. The first thing I do on awaking is open the blinds. This morning, when I opened the blinds above the sink, I spied some birds in my neighbors front yard, which is behind my cabin. I don't know what kind of birds they were, but they looked like geese; two large and two small birds. I watched them for awhile, just enjoying them. My cabin is surrounded by pine trees; there must be 50 of them. The ground is covered with pine cones and pine straw. Last week, while walking my dogs, I saw a rabbit, that had been hiding in some weeds, run across the lawn. I want to put some weed killer on the lawn, but when I see all the wildlife in my yard, I hesitate to do it. Squirrels are everywhere, jumping from tree to tree and stealing food from the bird feeders.I see cardinals, woodpeckers,and robins quite frequently, especially in the early Spring. I can't help but feel responsible for these creatures. We all share this piece of land and I don't want to do anything to harm them. I guess I feel that it was their home before it was mine. Oh, yes. I forgot the vultures, they are always around to see what's happening. Deer are also both a joy to see and a danger to watch out for while driving.

Wow, that is a very beautiful and interesting place OPEN MIND.
I have never heard of it and I am very close by.
I've been thinking about taking a gardening class and doing some volunteer work. Being a volunteer there, would be a way to learn and support - give back.
I have flower design experiance too.
I know were I'll be heading out to Satureday.
Many thank yous, and thank you to CoCo for starting this topic.
