This is a photo of a humming bird that I saw while hiking up to the Golden Gate Bridge from the park at the bottom of it.  I seen the bird from a distance but didn’t have the right lens to get closer.  I tried to focus to keep it clear but I guess it is one of the reasons why I wear glasses.  I am blind already and I am trying to focus on something I can barely see.  I shot this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using the Canon 28-135mm lens.

While in San Francisco’s China Town we noticed that the Fire Dept arrived on scene at some business.  They parked in the middle of the road and a bit later the ambulance was trying to arrive on scene but couldnt because of all the traffic behind the fire truck.  The truck moved just a few minutes later and the ambulance was able to get there but I could image how long it must take to get on scene.  And it seemed like everywhere we went we ran into the SFFD.  We were at Pier 39 when the Fire truck came racing onto the actual pier to some restaurant.  Pretty scary.

While in San Francisco we tried getting over to Alcatraz but noticed that the tickets were sold out.  We caught a glimpse of it from Pier 39.  Looks like we will have to try again later.  I would probably prefer when it is warmer.  I snapped this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

While in San Francisco I couldn’t help to notice this nice little one seater.  It was a salmon colored economy car (Don’t know if the cone is included, although I don’t know where they would put it.)   It was parked inside the Golden Gate Park.  I snapped it with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.  I would love to hear how much gas mileage is on this thing if anyone knows please feel free to share.

This is a photo from inside of China Town looking down into the rest of San Francisco.  I snapped this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  China Town is very strange.  Not much to do around there unless you are aware of the Asian culture or if you are hungry.

Yes, this photo is real and untouched with any digital program.  I snapped this photo from the inside of this restaurant called Asqew’s in San Francisco.  I noticed that it had the time all weird and thought it would be interesting to see what you thought of the clock.  The food at this place was okay but I wouldn’t go there again.  It seems like everything they serve was missing something.  I had to put salt in my food and sugar in my Root Beer.  They serve mostly Barbeque ribs and chicken.  They have a small selection of fish.  If you want to go there it is right down the street from the Golden Gate Park.  I would love to hear your reviews on the food if you have already went or plan to go.

While visiting the Golden Gate Park I came across this huge antenna that was ruining the scenery.  Anyone know what it is and what is its purpose?  I know that it is an antenna of some kind but why did they put it right in the middle of this beautiful area and not on top of some building?  I snapped this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens from the lake in the park.  Anyone know anything about this thing I would love to hear about it.

This weekend I had the chance to go to San Francisco and experience some of its beauty.  One thing that I thought was amazing was the Golden Gate Park.  My wife had seen this article in one of the Via (AAA Insurance Magazine) Magazine Issue, where it had this underground garden.  We went to try and find it but had no luck until we were flipping through some street magazine that we picked up while in the town on Friday.  We seen the same thing she was looking for.  We spent the night and went to see it the next day.  We walked over from the lake to see this amazingly long line to enter the garden.  It must have been over a thousand people in it and it wasn’t moving very fast.  Soon after we heard a lady say, “If you don’t already have a ticket then you will not get in.”  So we gave up and explored the rest of the park. Like this tree that I captured with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  There are more things to see so stay tuned. I am planning on trying to go back during the summer or so to take a trip over to Alcatraz and get my ticket ahead of time for the garden.

This is a photo of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.  This photo was taken some time back when my wife and I hiked over to the other side of the bridge and I tried getting an angle that would show me more of the bridge but it was impossible unless I had a boat.  I was thinking of going over to the north end of the bridge but that shot had already been captured so many times.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.
