-waiting for the bus in downtown SF yesterday. The picture makes it sort of seem that downtown is fairly quiet, but it is anything but.
Today, I took this shot of a groovy flowering tree by the supermarket I frequent. I saw the fly & wondered if the blossom would smell of dung. It did not. Maybe the fly is just taking a load off?!
-still probably a pollinator, I'd wager.
Almost certainly a pollinator. Perhaps not the 'preferred' one, but if it gets the job done...
ReplyDelete:) exactly!
DeleteWhat a delightful flower - not one I recognise.
ReplyDeleteI asked around and was told its common name is a flannel bush. It's native to this area as well!
DeleteI've never seen that plant either, but I do love the California poppies in your header. It does look quiet downtown.
ReplyDeleteThe header is fun. It's a shot showing the area of town in which I grew up. It's called Linda Mar.
DeleteIf I go to San Fransisco I'll be sure to wear that flower in my hair.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be well received. :)
DeleteTwo great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, kindly!
DeleteSpeaking of San Francisco, my uncle (who lives in Windsor) shared a t-shirt that you might enjoy: https://cottonbureau.com/products/intersections-of-san-francisco
ReplyDeleteIt's always a bit freaky to find a usually busy street empty. Even if just for a moment or two.
Those intersections look nuts!!
DeleteDear Bea, I've been to San Francisco only once--way back in about 1982. I attended a meeting there and so saw little. Your downtown photo makes me want to go back for a real visit! thank you. Peace.
ReplyDeleteIt's much more crowded than in '82, but still worth a look-see.
DeleteThose 2 pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yael.
DeleteLooks like a nice way to spend your day. Thanks for sharing.
