I pulled into the driveway after my long commute and saw a perfect, giant dandelion next to the garage–actually, the plant is called Salsify and has a 3″ diameter (dandelion-like) seed head. I shot some close-ups and here’s the one I liked the best.

In general, I don’t take a lot of photos during any given outing (I must still have a film SLR sensibility), and I rarely use a tripod, so when I get several shots that I like I’m a happy photographer. Another from the baseball game series I’ve been posting over the past few days, this wharf scene was taken after the game along the Embarcadero while walking back to my car.

Still going to the well–a symptom of chronic sleep deprivation. This is yet another shot from the Thursday night ballgame adventure. These palms are part of the Willy Mays statue centerpiece at the front of the AT&T Park.

It’s been a busy past few days, so I’m enjoying a lazy Sunday. Time to recharge the camera batteries. While they’re recharging, here’s a couple more shots I took during Thursday night’s SF Giants ballgame.

While leaving the ballgame on Thursday night I had my G11 in hand and took this shot of the Willy Mays statue. It’s a 1/2 second, handheld, shallow depth of field exposure so tack sharp it’s not–but I like it.
