San Francisco, November 13-14, 2010

A 90th-birthday celebration of a dear friend's mother was the focal point of a weekend stay for Donna and me in San Francisco on November 13 and 14, 2010. In addition to the exquisite, decadent Sunday brunch at the Palace Hotel's Garden Court, a couple of excellent dinners, and an improv show at a small downtown theater, I found a lot to photograph in and around Union Square and Washington Square Park. © Alan Sheckter / AlSheck@comcast.net.
