These first few images are here in hopes of attracting a few viewers doing image searches for the things below. I'm missing images of Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Alcatraz, Telegraph Hill/Coit Tower, and Levi's Jeans -- also anything about Earthquakes, Hippies, and the Gold Rush. (But at least I got the text in!)
Thanks for visiting, whether new or returning! Please read on.

For more indepth and colorful coverage of San Francisco natural history, follow this link to San Francisco historian Chris Carlsson's collection of essays on the topic. For any readers living in San Francisco, or anyone planning to visit, try to make it to one of Chris Carlsson's bicycle tours or public talks. Regardless of the topic, you will be enlightened and inspired to do your own delving into history.
And, if you are lucky enough to hear of one, attend a Greg Gaar slideshow. It's a must for those interested in San Francisco natural history!
