San Francisquito Creek
San Francisquito Creek
Here are pics from a visit to part of the San Francisquito Creek bed (and nearby neighborhood streets) on Monday.
Looking upstream through a tunnel under Chaucer St.
"The coolest spot in Paradise . . . " is apparently in the San Francisquito Creek bed.
This creek bed contains less trash than others in this area, but there are some notable items. First, a tire.
This trash is cash!
One of several golf balls along the creek bed.
Household safes pried open and jewelry boxes emptied, likely from a home robbery in the neighborhood.
Graffiti on a retaining wall.
Fallen cottonwood leaves make bright splashes of yellow against the dark sand.
A little toy construction guy, covered with sand.
A buckeye.
Looking upstream prior to going back up out of the creek bed and onto surface streets.
The most-secure pumpkin in Palo Alto.
♪♫♪ Ah-oooooo, Werewolves of Palo Alto . . . ♪♫♪
Autumn foliage.
Um, no thanks.
A cute pumpkin and brilliant Japanese maple foliage create a festive autumn feeling.
