Today’s camera roll 🌞

The hottest, most whimsical place to be today was the Cafe Jacqueline estate sale in North Beach following the recent closure of the beloved soufflé restaurant. A rare byline for me on this one alongside @elenakadvany.bsky.social on @sfchronicle.com 🐌 www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...

Caffe Trieste is always magic ✨

What would you do with one million loquats?

I’m back on my gardening posts, this time with a brand new yard. Everything is finally blooming and I’m discovering what kinds of plants we inherited. So far, I’ve found a massive tangled wisteria, a peach tree, a loquat tree, a bunch of blackberry bushes, fennel and an out-of-control geranium.

The sky over Oakland is doing some wild things right now.

Don’t miss this Grand Lake video from @jachristian.bsky.social!! Truly captures the unique beauty and proud Oakland roots of my favorite cinema. “We have always been a union house here, and remain (with union projectionists) to this day.” ✊🏼🍿❤️ youtu.be/K3EddM_IT-g
