    Found by the wayside

    I have no idea what this is - I found it by the car park at the Golden Gate Bridge - but it is a rather attractive head of flowers.

      Enjoy your visit Stan.

      One of the tour guides we encountered said that if you stayed in San Francisco for more than a day there was a good chance that you would see at least one of three things:-

      A naked person.

      A protest.

      A march.

      Of course, if you were really lucky you might see a protest march of naked persons, but the chances were slim.

        Lovely colours in the flower.

        Hope you remembered John and you Stan in September to wear flowers in your hair.

        If you're going to San Francisco
        Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
        If you're going to San Francisco
        You're gonna meet some gentle people there

                Perhaps it's the "Weed" that you constantly hear mentioned in San Francisco - there are even billboards advertising on-line purchasing of it - "Click, click, puff" was the tagline.
