San Francisco. America.

When out and about yesterday afternoon, I managed to get (IMHO) a great picture. It was a gorgeous sunny September day, with baseball and the American flag in the foreground and Sutro Tower and the UCSF parnassus campus in the background. It captured, to me, so much of the spirit of San Francisco.

For those of you that are curious, the caption is from Tiny Post, which is my new favorite photo app, it’s free and awesome and you should go download it RIGHT NOW!

And after you do that, take a moment to look around you and be grateful for all that you have. What happened 11 years ago to the day should be a reminder that all we enjoy isn’t free, and that a beautiful autumn day can be shattered in an instant. Hug your family, a friend, a stranger (but not in a creepy way). Life is incredibly short and precious – don’t take it for granted!
