Amykins.......

Sorry you took your pics down....but I understand people can change their minds about something sometimes...I do that.....frequently...*sigh*

Moonchild.......I thought you were a Cancer? Isn't AG a Capricorn? ....or am I just confused...(which also happens frequently... )

Oh...and thank you for telling me about the "water lillies..."

Aqua.....YES indeed! The world IS a beautiful place to live.....every day I give thanks for all the blessings Creator has given us...

I know Rainbow, people mistake my handle for being a Cancerian, but my handle is actually one of my favourite songs by the same name by the band Iron Maiden. I am a typical Sagittarian with a strong Scorpio influence in my character. Yeah, I am a 1972 model 15th Dec and AG is on 26th Dec.

Hiya Kamilla, are you a 1972 model too? lol

No, I guess, it would be too much of coincidence...lol. One of my best friends birthday is December 26 though, 1975. Last year we threw him a great 30th surprise birthday party figuring poor kid never had a good one being born on a day after Christmas...lol. Oh, my boss's birthday is on December 26th too and we get alone really well. No one can convey "Back to Earth" message in a nice yet very convincing way like those Capricorns. Got to love them

Kamilla.....

Thanks for the beach pictures....

I LOVE the beach....and am so glad that I live about a mile from Lake Michigan...It's pretty close any time I want to enjoy it...

As a matter of fact, in winter when the leaves are off the trees, I can even get a sparkling glimpse of it from my back yard where I live...

Embarcadero again

Sign inside imported italian trolley we took to Fisherman's Wharf (F Trolley):

I wanted to turn around and take a pic backwards as well, but I just felt weird about photographing a bunch of people without their permission.

Breakfast across the street from the Hyatt where my training was.

The Hyatt's lobby. I didn't get a picture of it, but the fireplace was going too on this bright sunny day.

Not sure exactly what street this is, but we took it to get on the BART back home. Today was a "Spare the Air" day, so all of our transit was free today.

The Embarcadero was WAY more busy than this. This is just a poorly taken picture at the very end of the platform. There were loads of people in the more central area of the platform.

Rainbow~

Nashville is still alive and well. Although...Downtown is undergoing quite a few changes. They've torn up all the cobblestones and paved the ground. They're doing work on the old buildings to renovate them and make them into homes and doing a lot of work on the infrastructure.

Haha, well...except on Sundays. Almost the whole city shuts down for church, just like always.

He's an airbrush artist. That's the reason for the respirator. The flame may just have been a good piece of showmanship, but I think the excuse for using it would be to accelerate drying. Saw two such artists that day.

It was down at Fisherman's Wharf. I'd suggested to my boss that we go check out this Capricorn photographer's studio at the end of Pier 39. Unfortunately, one of the photographer's friends had taken over that studio. It's too bad. Peter Lik is an amazing photographer. http://www.peterlik.com/flash/default.asp
If you got to see these pictures in person, you'd be amazed! They are ENORMOUS, and yet so crystal clear and beautiful.

Looking at his site, it really doesn't represent his work well.
