seal

Here are some pictures of a green garden. Hope you enjoy, as much as I did.

Here is a picture of a dead seal. Something unusual for us to see in beaches. We saw this one last month, in our last trip to a local beach. It was another sign of the recession period, here in California, or for that matter, anywhere in US. The dead seal was not cleaned up on time, because the cleaners working on weekend shifts were let go (laid off from work), due to budget cuts. And, we the public, are reminded of the current state of the economy, wherever we go.

This is a scene from PIER 39, San Francisco's Premier Bay Attraction, a festival marketplace with more than 110 stores, and a variety of fun-filled attractions for all ages including, our world-renowned sea lions, street performers and live daily entertainment.
