Bridge on the Arno, Florence. #MlevelPhotos #UrbanGaze
A view of a calm river with a bridge reflected in it perfectly. Buildings on both sides are also reflected.

Three views of Spring Lake from a wide circumnavigation Monday.
Spring Lake from the boat launch. Spring Lake from the hill seen in the last pic. Spring Lake from levee #2. I walked all three levees on this hike. Map of my hike around Spring Lake. Pic 1 was at the start/finish (green dot); pic 2 was walking around the hilltop (right side of map); pic 3 was from Levee #2 (long-ish straight-ish line upper right).

Kinetic sculpture at the desert museum in Ridgecrest CA. #MlevelPhotos #BlueSkyMonday
Metal sculpture with two discs cantilevered by parallel rods. The discs have animal and other figures cut out, and one is the reverse of the other.

Mt. Tamalpais, just over this ridge. #MountainMonday #MlevelPhotot=s
A grassy ridge with light purple flowers and a broken-down barbed-wire fence in the foreground. Beyond is the silhouette of Mt. Tamalpais, "the Sleeping Lady," tallest peak in Marin County CA.

View of downtown San Francisco, Ferry Building, and straight up Market Street, from a helicopter tour. #Stunday #MlevelPhotos
Aerial photo from over the San Francisco Bay. The waterfront and Ferry Building are in the foreground, and beyond, Market Street makes a straight line through the city.

Snowy forested hillside through rock window. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. #ForestFriday #MlevelPhotos
A round window through a redrock arch frames a snowy hillside with evergreen trees. Our national lands are a gift to the future. It's a travesty what the people in Washington are doing to them.

View from the Sunset Trail, Crane Creek Regional Park. I liked the layered ridges in the distance.
View across a valley to distant ridges. The ridges are lighter and lighter in the haze as they get farther away.

North Sonoma Mountain trail, fairly new, has these great rock mosaics where it crosses water-courses, so what would normally be a morass of mud is instead a nice walkway. #RockinTuesday #MlevelPhotos
A switchback on a trail where a seasonal creek crosses it. Carefully laid stones provide an easy (and pleasantly undulating) walkway through the mud. A lichen-covered Bay Laurel tree arches over the scene.

The twin peaks of Mt. Diablo, viewed from the east. It's a five-mile round-trip hike from one peak to the other. #MountainMonday #MlevelPhotos #MountDiablo
A somewhat rounded and a somewhat pointy peak, with a long ridge in front of them.

Caught some rays today.
Sun rays shooting down from dark clouds behind dark silhouettes of trees, telephone poles, and a building or two.

Rough-Legged Hawk, Klamath Basin, CA. I like to call it a "frosted" hawk, as it comes from the north and as shown, it's sprinkled with white. Rare in the Bay Area, more common up north, stunning wherever you see 'em! #MlevelPhotos #Stunday
A white and brown hawk perched on a narrow signpost, with dun fields out of focus beyond.

Same photo, slightly different angle, before the Salesforce tower was built.

San Francisco: Pier 39 carousel, Salesforce tower, Coit Tower, Transamerica Pyramid, all neatly lined up. #MlevelPhotos, #UrbanGaze
SF landmarks all in a row, as described in the main caption. I took a very similar years ago before the Salesforce tower was built; now just the tip of that tower (the SalesForeskin?) is also visible.
