Monday Mural: Yosemite Sam and Co.

Facing the parking lot of this convenience store is this cartoon mural of Yosemite Sam and Wylie Coyote.  I can read Pow and Boom but not the signature.  The name doesn't compute but the humor shines through.

reality setting in

Pretty much how Dub Nation is feeling about the Warriors losing the NBA Finals.  Nooooo!

job requirement?

It looks like lots of tattoos are a requirement for employment at the Avenue.  Spotted at the annual Temescal Street Fair.

Monday Mural: alley art

This series of faces can be found in a driveway just off Grand Avenue.  I don't know the artist, but I've seen his work before.  Very distinctive.  Am I the only one who thinks of President Obama when I look at this?

Monday Mural: more from the scientist's and engineer's union

This is the other side of the Engineers and Scientist union mural I showed you a couple of weeks ago.  I really like the reference to the double helix and the image of the optometry equipment.  So science-y.

Monday Mural: under the deep blue sea

This fantastic mural covers the side of the Steele Dive Shop.  It's a new addition to a long lived business.

Apologies for being late in putting up the post.  I got lost in the Warriors game, which we won 110-77.  On to Cleveland for game 3.

Dubs reach the NBA Finals---again!

This is déjà vu all over again.  For the second year in a row the Golden State Warriors have battled their way to the NBA championship finals.  Their opponents are the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Again.  Can lightening strike twice?  Dub Nation fervently hopes so.  Last night was a good start with the Warriors winning Game 1 104-89.  The noise in the arena was deafening as the team locked in and definitively pulled away from the Cavs.  Waaaariors!!

This photo is a grab shot from television during last year's Finals.

This month's theme is shadow and light.  Here is a late afternoon scene on the estuary near Jack London Square.  Linked to City Daily Photo where you will find world wide submissions on this theme.
