Treasures


During this year of getting back to what is creative and what inspires me, I find myself wandering in San Francisco. Today I spent the better part of the afternoon with a friend walking along the Embarcadero, into Chinatown, North Beach, up to Coit Tower and back again. I love these long walks because I often find treasures. These treasures can be chance meetings of interesting strangers, new shops or restaurants or coming across, inspirational and heart-felt signs on lamp posts.

When you find treasures in the city I think that it's good to share them. Treasures don't necessarily mean riches. They can be simple things, like a park bench in the warm setting sun.
