It’s been several weeks since self participated in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, so she’s more than happy to participate today.
The prompt is: THINGS PEOPLE PLAY WITH
- The London Eye seen from Waterloo Bridge, 7 October 2018:
- The Leland Stanford, Jr. University Marching Band in the Annual 4th of July Parade, Downtown Redwood City: The band’s known for its goofiness.
- The Stanford Tree Leading the Leland Stanford, Jr. University Marching Band in the Annual 4th of July Parade in Downtown Redwood City. The Tree is an enduring emblem:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Still working off Cee Neuner’s current Fun Foto Challenge: PASTEL COLORS.
It’s a really fun way to pass the time: walking around the backyard, snapping pictures!

Love Cee Neuner’s Fun Foto Challenge!
This week’s challenge is PASTEL COLORS.
It turned out to be surprisingly hard to find photos with predominantly pastel colors!
These flesh-coloured gourd plants were at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers:
The Magritte exhibit at SFMOMA on self’s birthday in July:
A bit of nostalgia:

Thank you to Cee Neuner for the Fun Foto Challenge: RED
Red is a particular favorite of self’s.

- One of self’s handbags: a friend made it for her, using material self brought with her from the Philippines.
- Self’s birthday was July 14. Son and his wife, Jennie, flew up from southern CA and we spent the day in the City. Stopped at the Museum of Modern Art to see the Magritte exhibit, then had a snack in the sculpture garden. GREAT DAY! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Self loves color prompts. And in particular, this week’s Cee Neuner Fun Foto Challenge color: LIME.
There is something so refreshing about LIME or LIGHT GREEN.
Here are three pictures where this color takes pride of place:
Living Wall, San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, Golden Gate Park
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Love this prompt from Cee Neuner!
A collection of short stories by the great Wakako Yamauchi who passed away recently. Her own art is on the cover. Edited by Lillian Howan, published by Hawai’i University Press.
Bought from a Tibetan vendor in Dharamsala: “This will make you strong like _____!” said the vendor to me. Forget which Hindu god has the lightning bolt.

“Coffee, you complete me.”
That pretty much sums up what self feels about coffee.
So glad she can participate in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week.
Self has two coffee makers: a red and a white.
The white is a 10-cup, and the red is a four-cup.
She also has a favorite coffee mug, which she bought from a wee little store in North Beach.
The other side of the mug has a picture of Han Solo.
Which reminds her: this time next week, son and his wife will be back in the Bay Area. He accepted an offer from a high-tech company in the area. Self is so happy to have them close by!
She only learned the news about two weeks ago.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
