Somewhere Outside of Las Vegas

 Just some pics from outside of Vegas in November. I was trying to head to Red Rock Canyon Park but it was closed due to COVID, so I took these pics of the scenery around the park:

Vegas might be a all concrete and everything but  outside of it is so very beautiful. 

Saving Random Pictures

 Nothing going on here as my old laptop decided to give up the ghost and died on me. I had to go out and get a new one. It is what it is but I had some pics on there for this blog and tried to save as much as I can. Here is a random look on what I saved:

And some famous cars:

Herbie the Love Bug

Bonnie and Clyde's Death Car

And two Statue of Liberties made out of candy:

Made of out Twizzlers

Made of Hershey's Chocolate

And Finally some art from "Top Dog" in Berkeley:

Glad I was able to save some pictures. I got the cloud with new laptop. Sometimes old dogs learn new tricks. 

Music Monday: Hoping for Peace and Love

 Music Monday: Just thinking about the crazy events of the last week. I don't care if you are on the right or the left, we all need to hope that peace and love replace a lot of bad feelings people have for each other right now. 

The only thing I can say is that everyone who comes and visits my little dribble here on the internet is my brother and my sister. I don't care what color, what ethnic background, what religion you are or who you voted for, you are a sister or brother of mine:

Because we need to remember that Love is Actually all round in the world:

I wish everyone peace and love and have a wonderful Monday.

Good Bye Haight Ashbury T-Shirts

 

This is kind of a sad post as I went up to the Haight in San Francisco and found out that one of my favorite places to shop-Haight Ashbury T-Shirts is closing up shop. The place is an icon in San Francisco and has been around for 43 years. It started off as a bookstore and morphed into a clothing shop on the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco and has been there every since. Most of my T-Shirts are from there. It is a treasure trove for tie-dye and t-shirts. 

It has been a family-run place for all 43 years. They say that they are closing due to COVID and subsequent lack of tourism. 

Here are my last purchases from Haight-Asbury T-shirts:

And I had to get these fridge magnets

Good-Bye Friend. You will be truly missed. You were an icon and place that I grew up with. Thanks for enriching my life so every much. 

A Found Trail

 I went for a walk the other day and found a trail. It was off a street and decided to walk it.  I guess the trail has been there forever but it was new to me. I later found out it that it was part of the Bay trail which goes around the San Francisco Bay Area. It was pretty beautiful to walk it:

It was so cool to walk something for the first time and enjoy all the sights that it had. 

When the Sun Goes Down in Golden Gate Park

 

I was in San Francisco and was over walking around Golden Gate Park. I heard when the sun went down, there were some cool lights at the park, so I decided to stay to take a look-see. Above is the stage near the deYoung Museum and it got more interesting.

Below are a couple of pics of the 150th Ferris Wheel at night:

And the Conservatory of Flowers even though it is closed looked really cool:

And then I finally made it to what I was looking for an that was a thing called Entwined which is a special exhibit of lighted trees over an acre of the park. The exhibit is outdoors and was designed with COVID in mind. It is spread out and they turn off the exhibit every 15 minutes so people can leave and others can enjoy the exhibit:

It was a cool exhibit and I am happy that I got see it. I loved how the lights changed on the trees every couple of minutes and that they tried to make it as COVID safe as possible.
