240/365. Erin — yep, always hot

It's always great when coming home from work and Erin's just wearing somethin' fancy. I had to prompt the question...

me: "where are we going?"

erin: "nowhere, I'm just dressed"

me: "!"

and to the drawing boards...

We could call it "alco-bokeh" — but let's just not. Cheers to a great weekend. Now let's start a new week.

This was the last shot of the night. I have been desperate to find Christmas lights around the Mission seeing all the other flickrites with their Christmas Bokeh. My theory is that San Francisco has enough lights all year long that putting up Christmas lights is just cliché.
ANYWAY, I spotted some blue ones near our home. Not very color-full, but still - it will do :)

Having lived in the Bay Area for nearly four years now, I finally managed to get out and take some pictures of the city during the evening hours.
This one was shot near the Embarcadero at Pier 1 showing the famous Bay Bridge, which I think is actually a lot prettier than the Golden Gate Bridge... but whatever. I'll soon make my way down that way too.
24-70@24mm f/4.5 25s ISO200.
I would have shot at a smaller aperture, but f/4.5 was able to get me just under 30 seconds before using the bulb setting (I forgot my remote).
