tuesday, tuesday























things learned on a tuesday:

wind-blown hair is the secret

sun-drenched kitchens are not to be underestimated

cars like pearl are to be loved and shamelessly adored

breakfast really is the most important meal of the day

especially when prepared by a professional breakfast-cooker

ferry rides are magic

as are most carousel rides

mexican coca cola is so much better

riley has the eye

cupcakes are the second most important meal of the day

never leave a fruit stand empty-handed

always, always run to catch the ferry

even if you don't think you're going to make it

because chances are, you will

  1. do tell, 'which' ferry...from where to where? i have to play 'tour guide' soon in the city and though i've lived 'near' it all my life...the challenge feels all too daunting. i'm liking this ferry idea though. :)

    (and dreemintrea, we took the larkspur-sf ferry building boat because I live in mill valley. there is also one that goes between sausalito and sf or you can just get on one that tours the bay if you'd rather)

  12. I love SF. We enjoyed a great trip there last August...wish I were there now. Glad to hear you had a great trip (how can you spend time in SF and not have a great time???)

    I hope you got by The Musee Mechanique down at the warf. Your kids would have had a heyday! And they have a great vintage photobooth. :)

  18. Everytime I ready your blog I always think that it must be amazing to be you: your world is SO FULL OF COLOR. You must pitch the idea for a photo book. Your pictures always, always make me happy, and generally take my breath away.

  20. What beautiful sentiments. I've been feeling cranky today, angry at the world and it's persistent apathy - your post has brightened by afternoon and I have been reminded to be thankful for the sun-drenched kitchen I so often take for granted.

  22. You find color and beauty everywhere.

    In the simplest of things.

  23. Those are lovely lessons. Lovely photos as well. I want to keep looking in my life for the lovely moments and the lovely ideas I can take away from them.

  24. I just spent some time going through your posts. I had no idea you weren't a professional photographer. You just took your first photo class?

    And I read about your doubts about your photos (52 strangers) but I don't see them in the pictures.

    Plus, I love your lists. I already have lists all over the place, but you make me want to start new ones.

  25. I think maybe, just maybe, I might have eaten at that same restaurant with the yellow floral table cloth you so lovingly photographed. I was out there this past February, and I SWEAR I remember that. Good to see you and the fam enjoying that city. I secretly want to live there...or at least, I'd like a getaway dream house, oh, and one of those medical marijuana prescrptions they provide there. :>

  30. Wonderful photos. I've just recently tried Mexican Coca Cola and you are definitely right, it is soooo good!
    Rileys eyes are gonna be what all the girls call dreamy someday. He'll have giggly callers before you know it. Oh, how sweet!!
