I just recently discovered a weekly photo blog linky that I want to be a part of it. It’s called Corner View and it’s hosted over at FuoriBorgo.

This week the theme is “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”.

Here are the photos I’ve chosen:

Something Old

Rusty, my old dog. RIP Rusty!

Something New

My newest crochet dress

Something Borrowed

My sister’s shoes which I borrowed for about a year before I returned them

Something Blue

I kind of love coloring Easter Eggs.

Last week I had the chance to go see a sword demonstration over at the Asian Art Museum. The demo was by a well-respected Japanese master of his type who has been practicing the art of the sword for over 50 years. Today’s photo features him with three of his students at that demonstration.

Today’s photo is of the well-known San Francisco bar named Savoy Tivoli that’s located on Grant Street in North Beach. What a beautiful building!

I love taking photos of the fresh flowers that I frequently put in my home. Here’s a new one:

How would you alter this photo to make it better?

The photo of the day is back. I don’t know if other people are too interested in this Diary of a Smart Chick feature since nobody responded in the comments when I asked for feedback about it but I like posting photos so I’m going to keep it up for now. Would still love some feedback. Today’s photo is of the Rocketboat that I mentioned in the earlier post today.

Every afternoon I post a photo of the day here on the blog. Some of the reasons I do this include:

• I like sharing my photos especially the ones of the city where I live.
• It motivates me to keep taking pictures on a regular basis.
• It also motivates me to try to get better at taking photographs.
• I think it adds something to this blog to have visuals like that.

But this blog isn’t just here for me. It’s here for my readers too. So I’m curious, what do you think of the photo of the day? Should I keep doing it? Should I be doing anything differently with it?

This was one of the first things that I ever sewed together. It’s a beach towel that was converted into a tote bag. I actually did quite a poor job since I didn’t have the right tools to cut it and sew it properly. However, I was quite proud of this project at the time. And in the end, it turned out that I really liked this particular picture I took of it hanging on a door.

I love the buildings in San Francisco that sit on a corner and so are shaped in a funny rounded traingular way.

Yesterday’s photo was of the big cross on Mt. Davidson. What I didn’t mention was that the cross is in the middle of a eucalyptus grove. So pretty:
