The San Francisco Flower Market

 

The San Francisco Flower Market is the largest wholesale in Northern California and one of five grower-owned wholesale flower markets in the United States. The Market has been around for over 100 years in different locations. It moved to its brand new building and location in January of this year:

I had never been there and it was super cool to walk around and see the different flowers.

Walking along the Embarcadero

 

Just decided to take a stroll along the The Embarcadero from Pier 39 to the Ferry Building:

It was a very nice stroll on a beautiful day.

Matisse's Jazz Unbound

 

In the last years of the great  French artist Henri Matisse's life, he took up book illustration. The deYoung Museum in San Francisco has an exhibit that are his illustrations from his 1947 book Jazz which was about the circus and theater. These prints were created using Matisse's paper cutouts:

I really found these prints by Matisse very interesting and cool. 

Ole Bolle's Neighborhood

 When I was in Portland, I got to see another of Thomas Dambo's trolls. They made a whole nordic neighborhood for him:

And they had a little gift shop/restaurant that you could get some of Ole's favorite foods:

And the coolest thing was seeing Ole Bolle just hanging out:

I love seeing Thomas Dambo's trolls and I hope to see more in the coming months and years.
