Still Alive...

I thought I would put out a message to the blogosphere saying that I am still here. I have managed to survive this crazy, stressful summer. In accomplishing that I have sadly neglected my art, and consequently my blog.

I have one more week of freedom before school starts up again and hope to make some progress on the Eiffel Tower window and post some pictures.

My time will be sparse once school starts, but I hope to find a little time each week for my art. My goal is to have a couple more projects done before the end of the year, but as we learned in "The Story of the Lamp," I can sometimes be impractical.

In the meantime, here are some beautiful pictures from oh so long ago, at the beginning of summer, when life was carefree!

The Palace of Fine Arts

Enormous and beautiful

Nearing the Golden Gate Bridge

Fort Point

"The Painted Ladies" at Alamo Square

Going to Prison (Alcatraz)

The view from prison

San Francisco from Alcatraz (So close, yet still so far)

The Golden Gate Bridge while leaving Alcatraz

Lombard St. "The Crookedest Street" (could also be "The Steepest Street")

I don't know why, but this makes me think of the Yellow Brick Road...only it's red

Entrance to Chinatown

Saying goodbye to San Francisco :(
