Mona watching Raffy bite the pumpkin carriage… 🐈🐈🐎🎃🧡 #fosterkittens #gingerkittens #sfspca #pumpkincarriage

Raffy & Mona; I’m told it will be time for them to be returned to SFSPCA next week to be adopted as a bonded pair. They will be missed 🐈🐈😿 #fosterkittens #gingerkittens #sfspca

As seen in Crocker Amazon this afternoon. I’m the least familiar with the Crocker Amazon and Visitacion Valley neighborhoods in the City… 🐄 #hometowntourist

Mona & Raffy at mealtime… 🐈🐈🐺 #hungrylikethewolf #fosterkittens #gingerkittens #sfspca

Window Dog, Carmelita Street… #windowdog

Raffy’s eyes are starting to turn green… 🐈🐈💚 #fosterkittens #gingerkittens #sfspca

The stage set from Dracula ballet last Friday; you know I’m all about that Gothic window with the stained glass… 🧛🏻🧛🏻‍♀️🩰🖤 #gothicwindow #stainedglass #draculaballet

Painted Lady Latte at That’s My Jam. I opted for the Honey Lavender version. Without espresso it’s a steamer but very soothing and flavorful. Espresso, of course, can be added. 💜☕️ #lavenderlatte @thatsmyjamsf

ever since Tim got the tribal tattoo sleeve he’s felt hella tough

Seriously… Is there someone behind me? #foodforacrow

Some of the crows in the park are seriously over fed! #crows #goldengatepark #sfpanhandle

View of the City from Laidley Street… #sanfrancisco

Laidley Street… #sanfrancisco 💙💜

From the attic window… #fog #fireworks #catunderbed

Someone at the Fourth of July parade has the same cathedral cake pan I do. This looks savory rather than sweet, though… ❤️🤍💙 #cathedralcakepan #nordicware

This was the Fog at 2:30 PM this afternoon; it’s much lower now. I’d say zero visibility regarding being able to see fireworks tonight… 🎆🚫 #sanfranciscofog

We the people… ❤️🤍💙 #weholdthesetruthstobeselfevident

They’re not talking about Charles… ❤️🤍💙 #nokings

The most petite Fourth of July Parade ever. Barely two blocks long… ❤️🤍💙 #laidleystreet

The Poole-Bell Mansion. I told my parents I would live there as a grownup. In high school I could see it from my classroom at St. Paul’s where the daydreams continued. It started out life as a single family home but was separated into multiple flats a long time ago. ❤️🤍💙

When I was a child, the house was pink. Mr. & Mrs. Mooney, lived there. They had a small dog called Samantha. I was allowed to pet her & also visit their bird inside. I remember cookies & lemonade. All because we said hello on our way to school. #mercuryretrogade

Harry Stairs. My father would take me up these to get to school on Diamond Heights. When it rained, large slugs would appear on the steps. I remember being afraid of them… #mercuryretrograde

Cottage, Laidley Street. The last time I walked by this house, I was six years old… #mercuryretrogade

Mercury Retrograde; a time for revisiting the past. The upstairs flat behind me is where my memories began. The first time I ever saw a cat was in the garden behind. It was love at first sight… 🐈‍⬛🏠 #youcangohomeagain

Sometimes, you go to Dracula Ballet! 🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻🦇🖤🩰 #draculaballet

And you know what goes perfectly with tonight’s Orange Moon? These 5 week old twin ginger kittens my friend is fostering. On the left is Mona (girl); on the right is Raffy (boy). 🐈🐈🧡 #gingerkittens #fosterkittens #sfspca

Full Moonrise tonight, looking orange. No, we don’t have a ghost moon. I took the photo through a window and it caused a reflection. 🌜🌝🌛 #fullmoon #orangemoon

The Moon, the Fog and the rainbow lights on Twin Peaks… 🌈 #pride🌈 #sanfrancisco

One last one as Pride weekend concludes… 🌈💙 #pride🌈 #sanfrancisco

Wild Parrot of San Francisco having breakfast on the 21st Street hill… 🦜♥️ #cherryheadedconure #wildparrotsofsanfrancisco

I’ve gone to the Filbert Street steps & Ina Coolbrith park to see the “Wild Parrots Of San Francisco” in person but no luck. Today, as I dragged myself up the 21st Street hill, they were above me, eating red berries in a tree. A wish came true, unexpectedly. 🦜♥️ #cherryheadedconure #atlast

And this is what it looks like without fog! 🌈 #sanfrancisco #pride🌈

The colors are much more vibrant tonight… #pride🌈 #sanfrancisco

There’s an insect inside this one… 🌹🐝 #rose #thepassenger

Someone left the lights on… 🌈 #sanfrancisco #pride🌈

Today’s roses… 🌹 #rose #nofilter

The fog still thwarting the City Hall light installation… #amiintheway #dididothat

Liddle Kiddles, made in the 1960s/70s by Mattel, see how tiny they are compared to Barbie. I had three; Orange Blossom, Sweet Pea & Lily Of The Valley. They smelled like flowers, too. Acquired last year, I chose this one for her jeweled and gold mesh hair decoration. #liddlekiddles @juliaparktracey

This lady stopped me at the Alemany Flea Market and demanded I bring her home. San Francisco is about to seriously get Egyptian when the Treasures Of The Pharaohs exhibition opens at the de Young on August 1st. @deyoungmuseum #treasuresofthepharaohs #barbie #egyptianbarbie

Came upon some music in Duboce Park this morning… 🎻🎶

There were many Belle-like dresses yesterday (yellow). I, of course, was enchanted when this lady showed up entirely in black! 🪄🌹📚🫖🖤 #beautyandthebeast @tymeforteaco #beautyofpoisin
