I am a native San Franciscan. Since becoming a photographer I’ve found The City always ready for her close-up, blemishes and all. I love doing shots here— can’t let tourists have all the fun.

Well. . . Two for sure, one strong maybe, and a distant speck possibly. So, “birds?” 😉
Ah! If only I’d waited a split second perhaps I would’ve gotten a better shot.Fact is , I didn’t even see it until I downloaded. As for the bird in the background (good eye!), perched on the streetlamp, well, that’s a full-frame camera for you. Haha!
Bravo and brava to all early birds…..such a nice shot of a nice time of day!
Thank you!
