Another floral arrangement that I took at Mountain View Cemetery's annual Tulip Extravaganza a couple of weeks ago . . . .
The Cathedral’s mausoleum is located at the lower level beneath the church. The mausoleum design somewhat mirrors the footprint of the cathedral above. Operated by Catholic Cemeteries, a division of the Diocese, the mausoleum has 1,300 spaces for crypts and 1,850 niches for cremated remains. There are also 12 crypts reserved for the past, present and future Bishops of Oakland.
The first Bishop of Oakland, the Most Reverend Floyd Begin, was re-interred in the mausoleum at a special service on November 2, 2008.
Actually not a lake, but a tidal lagoon connected to San Francisco Bay. North America’s First Wildlife Refuge, since 1869. In 1870 it was designated a California wild game refuge.
This picture was taken in 2019 on on of my Canon AE-1 film cameras. I can’t remember which film stock though (probably Ilford HP-5 400 pushed to 1600 but I’m not sure). I need to get back to film photography. Digital photography is much easier (and cheaper) for me but I really enjoyed shooting on my various film cameras. And film has such a unique look. I’ll definitely start up again soon!.

To celebrate their 50th Anniversary, Tower Of Power performs
to a full house at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA . . .
50 Years! . . . 1968 - 2018
Looks like someone spilled white paint on a street, then later someone drew an image of "Grumpy Cat" on top of it. Temescal district of Oakland.
Well today is my last day until I go back to work . . . TOMORROW!!!! I was off since December 22nd and I really really dread going back to work (but I am thankful that I have a job). I was getting used to this long furlough!!! ;-) I couldn't just stay home and bake more cupcakes today so this morning Toby and I went to Lake Temescal for a good one hour walk (and to take pictures of course). It was a bit hazy . . . low 50's but it was rather nice to be outdoors. This is the first time I've ever been to Lake Temescal in the winter. Where else can you see people going fishing, kids playing on the beach and see a water fall . . . all at one location? The fishing area is at one side of the lake and the beach area is on the other side. Permits are required to fish . . . I think they catch rainbow trouts. Anyhoo, it was nice just Toby and me . . . . ;-)

I'll be hitting the sack soon to prepare myself for the early morning rise at 4:30 a.m. . . . from 4:30 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., the hubs gets ready for work . . . I make the lunches for the hubs, AC and me . . . . then I go back to bed when the hubs leaves at 5:00 a.m. . . then I wake up (again) at 6:30 a.m. to get ready for work . . . this is going to be a shock to my body as I've been used to sleepin' in . . . ;-)
I'll visit your stream tomorrow . . . have a wonderful day/evening ya'll and thank you for your visits and comments. . . ~ Lulu
I can only hope this was a trailing move and not a shove but railroading was different in 1957. I think a modern Manager of Operating Practices would be speechless if witnessed today. What a wonderful Red Border Kodachrome!
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside...
