Last Sunday we all went out to Minnetonka Orchards to pick apples and pumpkins and Bella had a great time -- eating apple donuts, climbing on hay bales, going on a hay ride, picking apples and pumpkins, and just watching the tractors. This was a really quick snap but I love how it turned out.

An experiment: the view from the champagne glass at Anita's wedding.

The Golden Gate Bridge, a truly special, nay, almost magical, structure over the bay waters at San Francisco. The view from the north end looking back towards the city was, however, obscured by the thick fog bank which rolled in right as I crossed over.

The cable cars in San Francisco at Powell and Market streets. You have to ride them at least once while you are there for the fun and the views.
