I have decided to start a little category entitled scenic San Francisco. One of the glories of living in California is the natural beauty. San Francisco and the greater Bay Area which I also travel, is just plain gorgeous. Mother nature reigns supreme. Being a New York girl and I mean a die hard New York city girl, I am still affected and amazed by the light, the greens, the fog and the visual magnificence of California. One of the reasons I was drawn here was not the politics at all but, the visual affect it had on me. I grew up in a brownstone in New York and San Francisco’s housing is basically single family homes with gardens. Yes, it does have some high rises but, the overall horizon is low due to the fact that earthquakes are a reality here. And as a result of the houses only being 2-3 stories high, one gets to see the majesty of the sky as you will see in the video below.

The video is taken from Russian Hill (a San Francisco neighborhood) after I finished grooming a dog I have groomed for over 10 years. The client has a terrace looking over the San Francisco Bay and the grey colors were so fantastic after a rain, I just thought it might be nice to share it. I travel all over the Bay Area so I am privileged to experience all the micro climates of this region. Most people don’t believe it but, it can be 60 degrees in San Francisco and 95 degrees in San Ramon in the East Bay. Each area has its’ special climate which affects the surrounding environment.

This is one of the great benefits of home grooming. Not only do I get to change locations every 2-3 hours with new dogs and new people but, I get to be in different weather conditions with all that mother nature offers in that location!
