    I headed off work Market to Turk when I realized I'd forgotten my camera and had to go back.  So I came down Market again and turned on Turk.  Turk street has a number of wonderful buildings, but they are overshadowed by the cast number of homeless in various states of disarray everywhere that you look.  I was a little nervous coming down Turk Street in the Tenderloin, which is a feeling I rarely get in San Francisco.  I stopped long enough to get a pic of this fantastic building:

    I continued down Turk Street and the neighborhood improved as soon as I passed Van Ness.  I saw this enormous mansion on Turk between Divisadero and Broderick.  It's probably seen better days, but it's really pretty:

    I continued on Turk to 8th and into Golden Gate Park.  I came down JFK all the way to the ocean.  I stopped by the North Windmill to check on the progress of the tulips.  A lot of yellow:

    Here's me in front of them:

    I continued down to the ocean.  I think these are the Farallones:

    I headed back into the park JFK to Bernice Rodgers to MLK to Middle to JFK into the Panhandle to Baker to Page to Duboce to Castro to 17th and then home.
