sunday in the city.

san francisco is generally known to be a pretty colorful city. from the outrageous and charismatic characters that live here, to all the pretty green parks and it’s ‘painted ladies‘ (the old Victorians) — even the shops and storefronts generally have some bright colors going on. i, on the other hand have to admit to being down & dreary this weekend. it’s the two year anniversary of my beloved dog cooper’s passing, and i still miss that beautiful furry beast every darn day. so today i thought i’d try and find some colorful images of our city’s crazy architecture to help cheer things up. i hope you enjoy it.

  4. These photos are awesome. I’m sorry about Cooper. I know how you feel. I just lost my 15-year-old dog, Lucky, last month.

  5. Ahhhh – I lived in San Francisco many years ago and miss it so much to this day. Time for another visit, methinks. Thanks for reminding me what a great city it is.

    oh, thank you so much for the cheery colors. i needed them too, as yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my beloved cat gus’s passing. it gets easier, but it still hurts, doesn’t it? take care.

    nice nice pics victoria – which do i like best? the orange garage door? (the top left corner is a picture in itself so luscious), the rhino or the striated canna leaves? just as i downloaded this post my little buddy came along to sit on the sofa. i swear he is the reincarnation of my first cat, jimmy. sometimes the only cure is a new animal. sorry tho’, about your cooper. when they go they leave a terrible hole.
