Poem on Castro Street
BART Reflections
The third and final image from my BART commute this cold and rainy morning: Reflections in the window of the BART/CalTrain station in Millbrae, CA. Below, the CalTrain tracks and a northbound train; in the reflection, the canopy roof of the train station. The light of the rising sun on the clouds in the reflection adds a bright spot to the gray sky.

Purple Eye
Seen on Market Street near Civic Center in San Francisco on a rainy Subday morning, covering a boarded-up building for sale. Pretty fabulous.

Pyramid Lake.
Here’s a shot of Pyramid Lake that I took a few weeks ago in Nixon, NV (Paiute Nation). Beautiful blue desert sky and lake, and you can see the little pyramid on the side closer to the far shore. Absolutely gorgeous out there.

This is your brain on…
One of the many brain-shaped rocks I saw along the shore of Pyramid Lake (Nixon, NV, Paiute Nation).

Snow in SF?
I woke up to news of snow this morning – my mother in Southern New England sent me a photo of her house buried in 10 inches of October snow. She reports that “We have no heat, no electricity, are melting snow for water to flush the toilets (the cat finds the buckets of snow very interesting), and are using the camp stove to cook. All of the inconvenience of camping with none of the fun. Plus, we had to shovel the driveway and chainsaw the fallen trees off of it.”
In the spirit of Schadenfreude, I was preparing to take a picture of California palm trees and sunshine to send back her way, but I found a more suitable scene to capture on my way to the Civic Center Farmers Market. Yes, it was rapidly melting and surrounded by people in shorts, but I did find snow in San Francisco. (I believe there was some kind of snowboarding event this morning.)
So, in a mixture of solidarity and Schadenfreude, I sent my mom (and now the Gay Highwaymen) this image.

San Francisco Sunrise
Thursday morning, a Mission sunrise shot from my pre-dawn commute.
As one of my friends remarked when she saw this picture, one of the few perks of starting work early is getting to see the sun rise.
