Old fashioned roses twinning in our hot sun After an unusual “April shower”, everything is blooming with force, racing June’s dry and the brown gold hills that follow.

a labyrinth made with loose rocks. a little more visible now because it has rained and grass has grown between the paths

people looking at the Bernal Heights rock, which is frequently painted with topical messages. there are two adjacent rocks that are usually not painted but right now all three are decorated together. they're painted like a giraffe but the shape of the rocks suggests a turtle to me

Bernal Heights surprise: Active listing prices climbed 9.5% to $1.46M while sold prices plunged 41%, dropping from $2.3M to $1.36M. Bold list prices vs. buyer bargains—what’s really driving the market? #SFRealEstate #BernalHeights #Housing

Lots of words written in various colors of chalk on the sidewalk. It appears to be a debate between two folks about Proposition 50 in California. One is pro, the other is against. This is only an excerpt of their conversation, which took up about 30 feet of sidewalk total. An example of the arguments are "Only fascists support gerrymandering" to which a person wrote "Exactly! Fight back against Texas fascist gerrymandering."

Two Bernal neighbors debating Prop 50 with chalk and some sidewalk. Spotted on Cortland near Mission St in #SanFrancisco. #SFGraffiti #BernalHeights

A photo of a rainy street and a cathedral in the distance. The sky is a reddish orange with clouds.

Another photo of the red colored dawn in S.F. this photo shows Mitchell’s ice cream and some cars in the foreground.

More pics of that gorgeous golden hour lighting in S.F. tonight. This was right before the rainbow came out, when the sky was eerily orange. #BernalHeights #SanFrancisco
