Another of these beautiful leaves, this time with chocolate colors and red! This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

1 note above! Not far from our house stands this pretty church standing on its immaculately tended grounds. This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

This adorable Shitzu had been trotting along with his mom when he saw me and trotted up behind me. Such a friendly little fellow, he rolled over so I could itch his belly, and when his owner walked up, she told me in surprise that he doesn't like strangers much and has never done this before! She looked at me with a special expression and smiled while she told me his name. She was happy to let me take his picture and as I went on my way, she had to hold him back to keep him from trotting along with me on my adventure! :D This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

This beauty is located at the edge of a prosperous neighborhood. The other side of the street is lined with much more modest homes, but this side of the street has lovely, expensive homes and as one travels that way, they just get fancier! Unfortunately I didn't take any other house pictures on my trip due to lack of time, but I would like to eventually wander around taking pictures of some of the fancy homes near my father's house and share them on Flickr.

I couldn't get enough of these leaves... Winner of FlickrDuel contest: +10 Color: Color: Green This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

I have always loved the dramatic markings on these blossoms, and oh...the fragrance!!! So sweet and wonderful! This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

I really loved this pretty art and plant combination, found on a house near my father's home. Wooden latice with a plant in place, and lovely wisteria painted into the latice!

The steeple on this church has always been a favorite of mine with its pretty blue scalloped paint job. This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

I passed a garden where this gorgeous rose was the only thing in bloom, but what a show-stopper!! This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

(for those of you who are interested in seeing my San Francisco trip images, I have uploaded 10 pictures in this batch [229 in the past few weeks]. Thanks everyone for your comments and your visits to my photostream! I hope you enjoy the show!) (Oh, and yes, I know there are really too many pictures to be uploading at one time but I have too many images I want to put into my Flickr stream so it just can't be helped!) While I was walking around my old neighborhood, I was overwhelmed at all the subjects to photograph. This is the interior of a trumpet flower. I took lots of pictures of these huge, hanging blossoms but none of them were good enough to show. (Here's a picture of an entire blossom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brugmansia_ (detail).jpg) These flowers are pendulous and enormous, measuring as long as about 6"-8" in length and diameter! They are also quite poisonous! By the way, for those of you who may not know, there is a very fun, free Flickr competition site which you might like to take part in. It's called FlickrDuel and features dozens of ongoing competitions, or duels every day. You can enter your pictures into many different categories and vote on contests too. It's another way to enjoy your photography! This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.
