I had the pleasure of helping with flowers for a benefit hosted by the Knights of Saint Francis in North Beach last weekend. The event took place in a tent outside the Porziuncola on Vallejo St., between Columbus and Grant. To honor Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, the theme was Tuscan and we used oodles of sunflowers. It was a full weekend in the city with the culmination of Fleet Week. As we drove across the Bay Bridge the Blue Angels were preparing for their air show. Darwin later snapped this photo on his iphone of their air stirring performance...

On the ride home, since I wasn't driving, I amused myself with snapping photos out the car window...
For it is in giving that we receive. ~ Francis of Assisi
