Bay Bridge and shadows

I missed posting for weeks, but I am back.  June has been busy with visits from relatives and a weekend trip.  All good things!

view from our hotel room
My husband and I haven't taken a get-away weekend in years.  My sister took care of my cat while we headed up to San Francisco last weekend.  I loved our hotel room which was near the water and had a beautiful view of the bay bridge.

San Francisco Bay Bridge
pier with view of the bay bridge
On Sunday morning we got our coffee and took a walk down the pier across from our hotel.   The metal seats swivel for a 360 view.  Two fisherman were at the end of the pier with their rods set up.   We spent the day walking for almost 6 hours through the city.  I already want to go back!

The Bay Bridge is quite immense as it flows across the choppy bay. The shadows weave wonderfully through the upper and lower decks. and the railings on the pier has a web of shadows, too. The brilliance of sea, sun and structure is wonderful!

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
