Colors (Red) is for Valentine's Day

Chinatown alley
OK, so every once in a while I like to throw in something
that isn't postal.
I like colors too.
And Valentine's Day is one week away.
Get out those scissors and papers and start making your sweetie a card.

Pink is good too.

Red Awning

Little City Meats
in North Beach, San Francisco.
Old school signs.

Have a cappuccino
Write a postcard at the table.
Or two.

Lots and lots of red in Chinatown
(and great papers too)

Sunday Colors (Ivory)

San Francisco Main Library
Another set of Sunday colors -- today a calming ivory -- to offset the busy time of year.

An amazing old ledger written in Italian in beautiful cursive writing.

A pop-up art gallery of white papercuts in a storefront
in San Francisco's Mission District.

Beautiful calligraphy 

Old ivory paper umbrellas in LA's Chinatown.

Road Trip clouds.........


Greetings from rainy San Francisco.


Remember, send mail--get mail!

Sunday Colors (Red, White and Blue)

This is blue all right. With a little red thrown in. I don't think that is an official US Postal Service sticker!

Red, white and blue and just waiting for you to pop in some mail to make someone's day.

Okay....

Mail 'em inside the PO or out....

There are a number of rules with the post office.

Sunday Closed. No fun.

Here's the white...

Get those flat rate priority boxes ready for shipping Christmas presents.
(I like to make them as heavy as possible to get my money's worth)

These babies will be back on the streets tomorrow,
so get some letters and cards ready to mail. And, have a happy and peaceful Sunday.

SEND MAIL -- RECEIVE MAIL

Sunday Colors (Green)

Lovely weathered shades of green.
Just thinking it might be fun to do a Colors post on Sundays.
Just something a little different for a change.

Green in Golden Gate Park
from the roof of the deYoung Museum.
We are always green in SF.

Always loved these giant leaves -- don't they look like something
Adam and Eve would have dressed up in?

Eat your greens.

Always something interesting in the Bay Area's Farmers Markets.
I want to try making that Nocino.

Green - with some pink thrown in.

The Zen Garden
One of my favorite spots in the Big Bad City.

Have  a restful and peaceful Sunday --
and write a letter today.

Colors (Ivory)

OK, today isn't about mail. It is about color.
Notes on a page

Writing on the wall
There may be writing on the wall but I can't read it!

Cheese on a plate

Waiting for the mail
(as am I)

Fresh from the farm

Notes on a Wall

Ivory, white, beige
Color - or the lack of is - is lovely

Yellow Yellow

Sunflowers

Yellow cookies

Yellow curry soup

Stamps

Chinese custard tarts

Lemon tree


They call it mellow yellow, quite rightly

Have Camera

Don't you just love these old beauties?

Art Walk

Clarion Alley in SF. Take a walk.

Clarion Alley

Maybe you will want to bring a camera

Won't show you anymore -- have to save some surprises for your walk.
And there is a Thrift Shop right around the corner too.
Go for a walk.
