An Interesting Coincidence
In January of 2008, my wife and I went on a month-long road trip through California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Our 4th night on the road we spent in San Francisco. We got there late in the afternoon, and my wife said she needed an hour or so to get ready to go out. I said no problem, grabbed my camera and went urban hiking. I took a bunch of photos, and when I looked at them on the computer later, I noticed one looked really familiar. When we got home, I dug out my box of photos, and discovered I had taken the same photo thirty-one years earlier!
I had spent the afternoon there with my mom, my aunt, my cousin, and my grandmother in November of 1977, when I was eighteen. They wanted to do tourist stuff at Fisherman's Wharf, and I just wanted to ride a cable car downtown and hang out and take photos with my little instamatic. I agreed to meet them at a certain spot at a certain time. My relatives were horrified that my mom would just let me take off in a big scary city.

I took this picture through the back porch screen on a rainy day a few years ago. The water in the swamp was up and lots of Herons, Ibis, and Egrets were feeding at our yard's edge. The wet patio screen gives a misty look to the scene
See the Heron in the middle, it looked to me like it is holding a tiny woman in it's beak. Actually it is a bullfrog he had caught, I had to step out side to find out just what it was.

I've been feeding 3 feral cats for about 3 years now. This year the mom had her second litter. Her first litter last year there were 4 kittens.
I ended up being able to hold one of them and I gave her to one of my daughters. I have no idea what ever happened to the other 3.
July 21st I saw the first kitten from this years litter. Later that day there were 4 and I couldn't even get close to them. They were tiny and not yet weaned.
July 24th my daughter and grandkids came down for a visit and brought one of their daughters friends. They caught all 6 kittens.
The kids even let me hold one.
The next morning they were gone and we never saw them again.
Until this morning, 23 days later and one showed up.
Makes me wonder if all 6 are still out there. I don't know exactly where their home is but its close, like within 50-100 ft.
The three adults survive 15 below zero temperatures in the winter. I've tried building them shelter but they'll have nothing to do with it.
I hope more than one kitten shows back up.

24th Street Tracks
Looking south towards town from the 24th Street bridge.
I grew up in this area. The long low building in the center is a former Nike missle plant. As kids, my friends and I would walk past it on our way to the store. Rows of gleaming white Nike missles would be lined up along the fence, waiting to be loaded onto rail cars and shipped to wherever they were going.
This used to be a nice area...a typical working class area in the fifties. I made this photograph a year or so ago. To say the area had gone downhill would be a polite way of describing it. It's coming back now, though. The old Nike plant is being transformed into fancy offices, shops, and headquarters for some charitable organizations.
If you look closely, you will see a Red Tail Hawk perched atop the light pole on the far right...looking for dinner, no doubt...a fat juicy rat probably.
