"One day if I go to heaven…..
I’ll look around and say 
“It ain’t bad, but it 
ain’t San Francisco”.
                                Herb Caen













Maritime City on a Peninsula

" If you’re alive,
 you can’t be bored 
in San Francisco.  















If you’re not alive, 
San Francisco will 
bring you to life……
















San Francisco is 
a world to explore. 
It is a place where 
the heart can go on 
a delightful adventure. 
It is a city in which 
the spirit can know 
refreshment every day. "
                      William Saroyan



















"  San Francisco has
 only one drawback – 
’tis hard to leave. "
                          Rudyard Kipling

Animal, Human, Nature

Why do happy animals 

make us more human? 













 North Beach, San Francisco

"It was only in an urban landscape, 
amid straight lines and architecture, 
that she could situate herself in 
human time and history. . . 
 as a bystander in a crowd 
or an anonymous witness.” 
                          Ruth Ozeki
















" In clinical studies, 
we have proven that 2
hours of nature sounds a 
day significantly reduce 
stress hormones up to 
800% and activates 
500-600 DNA segments 
known to be responsible
 for healing and 
repairing the body."
                  Dr. Joe Dispenza

Yesterday, I drove into
San Francisco.
That is a major city!

There is something 
invigorating
about all those 
people, architecture,
canyons and vistas.

I always thought
I would want to 
grow old in a 
great city.

But I was happy 
to drive back to
the North Bay.

Nature
makes the best
home.

Nice to visit
a great city.
But healing to
live in the quiet
with ducks 
as neighbors!

Thank You
for Visiting-
                    Fondly, cloudia

“It's always the right time 
to live the big goals
 and dreams and to
 leave behind dwelling
 on the little nightmares.”

regretted my speech,
 never my silence."

" Reverie is not 
a mind vacuum. It is 
rather the gift of
 an hour which knows 
the plenitude of
 the soul. "
