Bell is 1, and I hope she will always act just like she does now, because she is awesome.


There’s an art museum on Market Street in San Francisco. It’s a little weird, having been started by a gentleman who claimed to be the reincarnation of the buddha Vajradhara, and originally contained only works by him with little cards praising how wonderful his artistic talents were. It’s branched out a fair amount now that he’s no longer with us, and actually honestly some of his stuff is pretty good, too, so I’d say it’s well worth seeing.
I can’t honestly recall if this was one of his or not. Guess I’ll have to go back and find out!

This is the first time I’ve posted a pup on his birthday without even talking to anyone about him, but I think his dad will probably understand. You will too, once you see the picture.


What a great name! I’ve heard of a lot of flower names but this is a new one on me. (How did I think they were called ‘cow lilies’?) Lily is 4, and a happy goof.



Another post of a friend of the blog, Kona (now a year and a half old). I have run into him several times since last post, but always late enough that the light wasn’t good, so I just (‘just’) got to pet him.


Maverick just turned 1 a couple weeks ago, so he’s still hanging onto a lot of puppy energy. Then again, I suspect he still will be in a few years, with that breed mix!
