    This morning I headed off Corbett to Clayton to Parnassus to Cole to Waller to Stanyan and into the Park at JFK.  This is McLaren Lodge from Stanyan and JFK:

    I continued on JFK to Arguello and took that into the Presidio and then came around on Washington and stopped at Washington and Lincoln for a pic of the Golden Gate Bridge:

    I took Lincoln to Cowles to McDowell where I noticed that the new construction there seems to have necessitated the removal of the quaint pet cemetery underneath Doyle Drive.  I continued to Old Mason through Crissy Field to Marina and up into Fort Mason.  I love this Benny Bufano sculpture in Fort Mason.  He was an interesting California artist who, among other things, seems to have chopped off his trigger finger and sent it to Woodrow Wilson at the onset of World War I.  That's crazy moxie.  Or maybe just crazy.  You can read more about him here.

    The view of the Marina from Fort Mason:

    I headed over to Fisherman's Wharf.  This is the pretty Argonaut Hotel on Beach St.:

    I took Beach to Columbus.  This gorgeous building is apparently a garage:

    I continued on Columbus to Clay to Sansome and into work.
