Philippe: They've got a new addition at the WestEd Mall fish tanks; this guy was thoroughly enjoying himself in the water movement :).
Philippe: The neat part of this one is the model fire escape bolted to the outside. According to the plaque, the model was created in 1930 ish (I think) as a marketing tool for the shop that created the actual fire escape for the building.
Philippe: I just can't resist a good starburst.. :P
Philippe: Old fashioned construction is such a marked difference from today's standards.. There's a real sense of solidity and stability from this brick building that just isn't there for me in the modern glass and plastic constructions.
Anna: I just couldn't do it.Normally, I will at least resize my photos so they are smaller file sizes, faster loading, etc. They loose detail, though, and for these, I just couldn't bring myself to resize them.

Beautiful first photo. Love the look of motion, almost. :-)
Ahhhhh yes, what a difference between old fashioned construction and lots of today's. -sigh- And that's why I love to showcase old buildings, in my city.
Lovely blossoms. And wonderful close up of the bee too!
