como una flor
hi yes i am a coach potato night writer but i may look more like a little pretzel, actually.
gotta admit i’m still a bit sore from sunday’s long walk but very glad that happened.
deciding to get out and enjoy some sun versus diving into a fresh acquisition from the library is not easy these days (Dance Dance Dance by Murakami).
sunday it was, a long mellow walk that turned out to be a few miles through a few neighborhoods.
no pace tracking or gizmos. just saying hello to the flowers, a full bottle of water and sunglasses.
pit stops with very flexible alternatives if needed.
1. COFFEE.
2. golde gate park.
3. pizza.
i had been to this little corner coffee corner before, sometime after its opening perhaps last year, and i’m glad it seems to have lots of business. great spot for a quick espresso shot.
i enjoy seeing a bunch of dogs come by, and parents with their babies, and dogs, and some groceries on the go. oh and a coffee. parents are super humans.
also, sundays are farmer’s market day in the inner richmond on clement, which i always seem to forget about.

espresso pit stop at the “island” in the inner richmond, at 5th/california.
entering golden gate park💕 on fulton st. means the rollerskating music welcomes you to nature.

insert rolleskater soundtrack here 😉

car-free sundays in the park

groovy mailbox
at the end of the 4, maybe 5 mile walk it felt nice to sit down and wait for pizzas —with pastry in hand, and coffee in the other— arizmendi bakery is the forever jam of jams.
i took the window image on a different occasion, earlier in august as it was a rare vacant window moment. this is where pesto yum fest pizza enjoyment happened.

arizmendi, foto not taken on a sunday but on a quieter weekday after the lunch rush.
not pictured: took the bus route(s) home.
good to get a little lost and unintentionally exercised, sometimes.

i need to stretch more.
Thank you Meli for the beautiful shots, along with the strong, sensitive perspectives you share with all of us. I have been a viewer of yours from the beginning. I am so pleased to know you will continue to share with us. Your art is always special. Your words deep, sincere, but light-hearted when needed. You have such a keen eye for photos. I am always taken by the “sense” of your pictures. You are a true “artist” in words and the scenes you post. THANK YOU!
thank you so very much for the kind words nick, this is beautiful, it has made mi week. i appreciate this tremendously!
