Where Pacific waves meet the setting sun, Richmond district stretches 50 blocks west from the vast green spaces of the Presidio and gorgeous Golden Gate Park. The houses/estates are huge and its, rich, rich, rich here! I saw the Japanese garden and de Young Museum on the drive through and decided I have to go back!
Green Apple Books on the Park (close to the Botanical Gardens), had a dog dress up competition for Halloween (of course!)….such a cute range of entries, but owners hadn’t thought through nor prepared for, their dog’s reaction to others and there were a few ‘scrapes’. The mutts I pictured though were really well behaved…..’Reilly’ (left), ‘Bettany’ (with owner), and ‘Magic’.
Hoo doo rock formations on the way back – they look like little chimney pots and are formed with soft rock topped by hard less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. 
The Seven Sisters Mountain is as much of a Crowsnest Pass icon as the Crowsnest mountain itself. However, the peak is more of a ‘ambience setter’ for it’s larger neighbour than a destination in and of itself. The Seven Sisters was first climbed in 1951 by Bruno Engler. 
This ascent happened a number of years after his time working as a ski instructor in the Waterton, then Blairmore area.
and visited the cute Anglican Church at Millarville, with a hitching post for horses!
