Posted on 26 Feb ’13 by Salted Herring

After the win­ter I have been eagerly look­ing for­ward to the Jacaranda sea­son. I can see my neighbor’s Jacaranda tree while work­ing at my stu­dio desk. What a feast for the eye! Soon the whole town will be painted with splashes of … Con­tinue read­ing →

Febrero Loco, Y Marzo Otro Poco

Posted on 16 Feb ’13 by Salted Herring

Los Locos Day in San Miguel

Posted on 25 Jun ’12 by Salted Herring

Los Locos Day, the trendiest shoes 2012

Posted on 17 Jun ’12 by Salted Herring

Today, once again, San Miguel cel­e­brated Los Locos, the Crazy Peo­ple. This car­ni­val dates from the 19th cen­tury, when orchard work­ers danced to give thanks and ask San Pas­cual Bailón for a pros­per­ous year. The tra­di­tion might be old, but the … Con­tinue read­ing →

“Happy Day of the Dead”

Posted on 2 Nov ’11 by Salted Herring

Feels funny to say “Happy Day of the Dead”.…we prob­a­bly don’t say so, but com­ing some­where so far to this cul­ture, and adopted ‘El Dia de los Muer­tos’ cel­e­bra­tion as one of my favorites I feel like say­ing so. Yes­ter­day I  walked to … Con­tinue read­ing →

return to mundane wanderings

Posted on 13 Jul ’11 by Salted Herring

Over two years ago I started this blog of mun­dane wan­der­ings inspired by the ‘non-important’ cel­lu­lar phone pic­tures I took dur­ing my daily walks with Iggy at Lower Heights in San Fran­cisco. There was always a new win­dow dis­play, an … Con­tinue read­ing →
