TGIF, folks.

The last (and my favorite) of the photos (taken 2026-04-14) of some of Ron's Roses that are making a comeback...

   

Minimal processing: cropping, increased clarity and selecting a good color set in Camera Raw and selective sharpening of the COI. No value adjustments and no additional color tweaks

Beautiful Dave! Glad Ron's roses are making a comeback!

Here is a photo of San Francisco taken from a trip in 2006. I spent two years there 63' and 64' in the Navy. Stationed on the USS Coral Sea aircraft carrier. She was home ported in Alameda, across the bay.

Golden Gate bridge not visible on the far left background. Street heading toward the water is Market Street. The top of the Oakland Bay Bridge can be seen middle far right.
Feel free to correct me Dave if my memory is not spot on!

Thank you Rich. Very nice photo. That rocky wall at bottom right looks pretty substantial.even with the SF area's strong earthquakes.

Is Market Street what I see near bottom left that looks yellow-green then winds to the right before heading back to the left?

Even though we've lived in SoCal for more than 49 years. I've never visited San Francisco. I should do that before my time is up.

Thanks Dave! Market Street in center right going to the tall buildings.
