PHOTO SHOOT ON A BEAUTIFUL MORNING ON THE EMBARCADERO

I BEGAN EARLY ON THIS CHILLY MORNING AND TOOK THE NUMBER 10 BUS, TRANSFERRED TO THE BLUE LINE TROLLEY AND GOT OFF AT COUNTY CENTER. FROM THERE I WALKED TO THE WATER FRONT WHICH WAS STILL AS GLASS UNDER A CLOUD LESS SKY. ALONG THE WAY I TALKED TO A MAN ABOUT MY AGE WHO AGREED THAT WE WERE SO LUCKY TO LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CITY. WHEN I PASSED THE STAR OF INDIA OLD SAILING SHIP A YOUNG MAN WAS TRYING TO TAKE HIS OWN PHOTO IN FRONT OF THE SHIP. I OFFERED TO HELP HIM. HE WAS FROM INDIA AND WANTED THE SIGN "STAR OF INDIA" TO SHOW BEHIND HIM. ALSO MET A  YOUNG LADY STUDYING ENGLISH. SHE WAS FROM KOREA. FORTUNATELY HER FAMILY IS OKAY BUT THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE SITUATION OVER THERE.

PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED. SEE WHAT  YOU THINK. AFTER THE WATER FRONT I STOPPED AT THE CAMERA STORE TO CONFER WITH PAUL. WE TWEAKED A COUPLE OF SETTINGS SO THE LAST TWO PHOTOS ARE IN LITTLE ITALY AND A LITTLE SHARPER THAN THE WATER FRONT PHOTOS. 

BEFORE HOPPING ON THE TROLLEY, I STOPPED AT THE LITTLE ITALY FARMER'S MARKET, BOUGHT SALMON FOR LUNCH AND AN AVOCADO. I'D SAY A PRETTY GOOD MORNING.

ANOTHER SUBJECT: THE ARTS AND CRAFTS SALE WAS COLD AND RAINY IN BALBOA PARK BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT DAY TO SELL KNITTED  HATS AND SCARVES. VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.
