Washington Square Park is located on the corner of Union and Columbus Streets. It’s a very popular place for both the locals, and the tourists.
San Francisco’s famous columnist Herb Caen (April 3, 1916 – February 1, 1997) once wrote of Washington Square: “…it’s heart is Washington Square, which isn’t’ on Washington Street, isn’t a square, and doesn’t contain a statue of Washington but of Benjamin Franklin.” The now central statue stands atop a (now closed) water fountain erected by Henry Cogswell, a crusader for temperance.

The view I chose for this shot is looking South toward Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill.

This is Swanson Creek which is just one of several creeks that flows through Uvas Canyon.
Uvas Canyon County Park is located on the Eastern side of the Santa Cruz mountains.
I hiked up to Basin Falls which is about a mile from the parking lot. Along the way I stopped to look at several other waterfalls, and gazed at the ladybugs that are nesting there.

Angel of Grief is an 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story which serves as the grave stone of the artist and his wife at the Protestant Cemetery, Rome. A replica made in 1906 exists at the Stanford Mausoleum at Stanford University. It replaced one created in 1901 that was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. This style of monument is also referred to as “Weeping Angel.” It is a memorial (the Angel of Grief) to Jane Stanford’s brother, Henry Clay Lathrop.
