The Japanese Tea Garden, located in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, features pagodas, lily ponds, a tea house, large trees, dwarf trees and more.  The Tea Garden is significant in that the place was tended to by the Japanese-American Hagiwara family from 1895-1942.  In 1942, when all Japanese Americans were relocated to concentration camps, the Hagiwara family was not exempt.  The Garden is a photographer's delight.  These pictures were taken during a warm, early Autumn morning.  Photo Gallery Thirty-six was first published May 7, 2007 by City Birds.

Photo Gallery 37 features San Francisco's Ocean Side.  The first 10 photos feature scenes from Baker Beach on a beautiful January 2007 day, with views of the beach and the Golden Gate Bridge.  The remaining twenty photos were taken during springtime 2007 from the area of the Cliff House on the Great Highway and focusing on Sutro Heights located across the highway and up the hill from the Cliff House.  Spring and Summer are the cold, cloudy and foggy times of the year in the City.  Photo Gallery Thirty-seven was first published August 1, 2007 by City Birds.

Photo Gallery Thirty-eight features a series of photos illustrating the typical gray, cold Spring-Summer weather San Francisco is famous for.  This weather pattern begins around the first of March and extends through the end of August when two to three months of "Indian Summer" with blue sky, sunshine and warm temperatures arrives.  Although this type of weather becomes oppressive to those living here, the respite from heat is surely appreciated by many visitors to the City.  Photo Gallery Thirty-eight was first published November 16, 2007 by City Birds.

Photo Gallery Thirty-nine features a series of photos of and around Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco.  The pictures were taken on Labor Day, September 1, 2008.  By mid-morning the temperatures were in the 70s.  Labor Day is one of a few days of the year when the bulk of the tourists have left the City and the tens of thousands of commuters who converge on the City during the work week are missing -- allowing the natives to briefly reclaim the beauty and charm of their City.  Photo Gallery Thirty-nine was first published October 6, 2008 by City Birds.

Photo Gallery Forty features a series of photos of and around The Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco.  The Palace was created for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition -- honoring the completion of the Panama Canal and San Francisco's recovery from the 1906 earthquake.  Between 2006-2009 the Palace was renovated and seismically retrofitted.  City Birds photographed the Palace at the start of the renovation and again after the renovation.  The first 14 pictures show the Palace in 2006.  The remaining 16 pictures were taken upon completion of the renovation in 2009.  Photo Gallery Forty was first published September 4, 2009 by City Birds.
