Ravens symbolize a complex mix of wisdom, magic, mystery, and transformation, but can also be associated with death, prophecy, and ill-omen across different cultures.

Smell of autumn after rain in local neighborhood, some heart warming acoustics, fall sweaters, internal gratitudes with all that life has offered so far. And some sweet homemade apple pies.

PHOTO ESSAY: DOWNTOWN

A trifecta... incredible sunset, and 2 iconic landmarks in the same frame.

My Hawaii week is over, which means my wife and I are back in the San Francisco Bay Area. This pooch is letting us know that we're not the only ones who appreciate the views around here.
