Click on the images to see them larger.Tonight under the half moon we walked to the home of our neighbors, Bill and Ruth Derisi. The little camera continues to amaze me. Who would have thought it might be possible to get a moon shot like this with such a small device.
Part of the entertainment for the evening was watching these hummingbirds feeding on the Derisi Balcony.
Earlier in the day I went for a walk along the waterfront.

San Diego Sculptors, whom most San Diego residents don’t recognize, created one of the best known and most striking sculptures in the city. Take a close look sometime at the fine granite statue in front of the San Diego County Office Building facing the harbor on the Embarcadero. The plaque at the base of the statue reads: This fountain presented to the peopole of San Diego in honor of Helen M Towle by the Fine Arts Society in collaboration with the Federal Art Project of the Works and Progress Administration. June 10, 1939. Donal Hord Sculptor.

The Works Progress Administration was part of that other great stimulus program, the one developed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration that helped us rise out of the Great Depression.
