I love the unexpected pleasures life throws at you from time to time. I had one yesterday. I had no plans for the day at all. I ran to the super to mail a package and pick up a few items; on the way back, I ran into friend and fellow photographer, Chuck DiGuida. He asked me if I was going to the Park Street Art & Wine Faire. I had to confess I hadn't even known about it. When we parted, I had no intention of going to the fair but when I got to the corner on the way to the bridge that crosses into Oakland, I looked up the street and saw it was only a couple of blocks up; I figured it was so close I might as well check it out. This is what I saw.

Thanks, Chuck, I never would have had so much fun if you hadn't told me. Greatly appreciated.
