San Francisco Armory Tour, 1/5/13

Today I went on a tour of the San Francisco Armory.  This historic building was purchased by an adult film BDSM website.  There was some brief history of the armory itself, but most of the tour revolved around the website and the sets they used for the website.  It was an interesting tour for the open-minded.  There wasn't much time to shoot too many photos, as the tour guides kept the group moving.  The following pic was from one of the torture rooms.  The hardwood floor (not seen in the photo) is fake; more like a linoleum feel.  Just because somebody likes being "tortured" doesn't mean they like having sore knees at the end of a days work.

Monarch Butterfly Tour, San Leandro, 12/18/11

Went on a docent-led walk to view migrating Monarch butterflies. It was cold, so they were clustered together with their wings closed.

Went to Pillar Point Harbor to see if they had any crab. Played around with a Holga lens adapter I recently ordered for my camera.

There were quite a few jellies floating around the boats. We were told that they don't sting, but we didn't try handling them.
