Puzzlepieces – tag ‘telegraphhill’

Schools in cities don’t get to have nice large grassy fields, but this is still pretty nice. so much so that I suspect it is a private school. In Telegraph Hill, probably on Greenwich Street

in the same tiny wooded area as the previous photo

you can see the tops of theese trees in the previous photo. nice little area just north of the Coit Tower, with paths down to the street. The street that it reaches (at least when I was there) was where the wild parrots were all resting. I didn’t manage to get a decent photo of them, though.

I’m proud to say I managed to narrow down all my good photos of this spider to only three. This one was needed for size reference

same spider as in the previous photo. looks like it may be about to jump?

Among the dozen or so photos I took of this spider are the very first shots I’ve taken of very small animals that I would consider successful. Unlike almost all the photos I post, I’ve cropped this one to show a more close-up view.

Apparently this species is a sort of jumping spider. Maybe that means it’s a wolf spider? I’ll have to look it up.

Update: okay, apparently wolf spiders are bigger, so it’s something else.

Also along the stairs near Coit Tower (see previous photo).

I’m extremely pleased with how well this photo turned out. The flowers and other plants around the stairs leading up to the hill with the Coit Tower are beautiful; I wonder if it is the homeowners, the city, or both, that take care of them.

the same tree as the previous photo, in Pioneer Park

it is sort of a man-made, manufactured stream, but it is very nice nevertheless
