San Francisco's Cliff House

After the Zoo, we shared a drink at the recently remodeled Cliff House on San Francisco's Pacific coast. I don't need no stinkin' lights. The setting sun provides all the rim lighting here. View the rest of the gallery here.

Simple ideas are sometimes the best. A handblower that rockets a blast of air to remove dust from your lenses - or anything else for that matter. View the rest of the gallery here.

This was the first day with my Nikon 105mm f/2 DC lens. DC (Depth Control) allows one to fine-tune foreground or background bokeh. Pretty nifty design from the early 90's that still works with nearly all Nikon digital DLSR cameras today. View the rest of the gallery here.

This lovely fellow seem to emerge at dusk to the same spot looking for a nosh. He stays along the shorline looking for a quick wetlands salad or a few insect delights. View the rest of the gallery here.
