December in San Francisco

I've got a buddy who moved to Michigan and he was asking me what's the weather like in San Francisco.  Well its been pretty darn nice and we are just having fall now. I love the color of the leaves.  I guess we don't get real fall color here but its really nice to look at the color of the leaves with the sunlight coming through.  Since its winter the sun is low and seems to come through the leaves and trees at a really nice angle.  Here's a couple shots from the middle of Golden Gate Park in the plaza near the new De Young museum.

More cool graffiti - this time on Broderick near Fell St

Here's a picture of the cool stencil work that someone is doing around Alamo Square neighborhood, and also NOPA (North of the Pan Handle).   There is some great character development going on here as I see the same artist has spray stenciled a number of images with the same style and characters.   Perhaps this is a self portrait? Anyone know who this is?  

Cool graffiti spotted on Lyon near McAllister St.

Saw some great street art on the way to drop my son, Finn McDill, off at daycare.  There were a lot of parked cars in the way but I noticed that it was street sweeping day and so I came back and took a couple pictures when the cars were gone.    Loved the elephant god doing yoga with the little baby elephant, but the other one was cool too!

Wow this is great art work!  I wonder who did it?  If you know please post a comment.  San Francisco definitely has some awesome street artists!  I've seen a bunch of stencil work popping up around Broderick place and Alamo Square park that is cool too.
