Summertime

I had planned to take some photos of fireworks on the Fourth of July ( Independence Day ) but because of the fog that is so common in San Francisco during the summer, the fireworks could not be seen.  Very disappointing.  I will try to take some photos of fireworks at another time.

So... this time will be posts of photos I took recently.  Nothing is really too special and there is no real theme, but I hope you will enjoy them nonetheless.

Hydrangeas in bloom along Lombard Street.
Lombard Street, the "crookedest road".
St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Petaluma, California.
Live music on the Pier courtesy of this kids band.  It seemed they were brothers and sister.  They looked like they were between the ages of six and twelve years-old.

    This farmer's market aroused my interest so much!We are rarely able to see such scenery here, and I want to eat a lot of fresh fruits getting plenty of sunshine =0) Here comes a midsummer!

    Many towns and cities have farmer's markets. Usually, they are on the weekend, from early in the morning through the afternoon. San Francisco has a big one, near the Ferry Building on Tuesday and Saturday. I want to go one of these days. There are actually a few more around the city too.

    Many of the farmer's markets have fresh, organic fruits and vegetables grown locally. They also have other local foods for sale.
