    It was already hot when I woke up this morning.  It's going to be a long day.  The dogs are going to be hot and restless and so will I.

    I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast.  I came up the Great Highway and there were surfers everywhere.  Sorry, didn't get any pics.  I went into Golden Gate Park at MLK and took it to the Music Concourse to JFK to 8th to Lake to Arguello to Clay to Walnut to Washington to Scott to Jackson to Buchanan where I saw yet another deco building in the Maya revival style.  This one is very similar to the one I photographed on Tuesday in the Marina but this is a little nicer and a little more richly decorated:

      

    I continued on Buchanan to Washington where I got another shot of this gorgeous, crumbling mansion:

    And one of me in front of it with Lafayette Park behind me:

    I continued on Washington to Franklin where I saw this fabulous piece of Victorian liciousness:

      

    This is the house next door to it.  It's a little earlier and not quite as nice and not in the greatest condition:

      

    I continued on Franklin.  These buildings are on Jackson at Franklin:

    I continued on Franklin to Pacific where I saw this great little building that must have been a firehouse at one time.  Love.  It.

      

    I continued on Pacific to Powell to Jackson to Columbus to Clay to Sansome and into work.
