Yellow mullein flowers (Verbascum thapsus, Scrophulariaceae), West Field Road. I love that they included these beautiful biennial plants in the dry-scaping along this road. The large, silvery tomentose leaves are lovely as are its tall, majestic spike inflorescences.

Mmm, this warm roll was SO delicious! I thought that because it had so many things on it including a spicy mayo and soy glaze that I wouldn’t be able to taste all the ingredients, but I was wrong. You could definitely taste the CA roll and salmon too, yum! I would order this again.

Noe Valley Farmers Market mural, 24th Street
Noe Valley Farmers Market mural, 24th Street. I don’t actually know what this mural is called and I should really figure out who painted it. The mural is located in the parking lot that hosts the Noe Valley Farmers Market on Saturdays. I think it’s absolutely beautiful and it extends on both sides of the parking lot.
