Not knowing my orchids from my ferns, I have no idea what kind of trees these are. I do know that around this time in Tokyo, the cherry blossoms will begin to open up to the season. Though not on the same scale as those cherry tree lined parks in that far away asian island country, these few trees still emote the season and joy of spring. 
This past weekend, WonderCon was held at the Moscone Convention Center. WonderCon is a sci fi convention that probably includes comic books and japanese anime. Not having been to one myself, I am only speculating. Moscone is the main convention hall in the city. Named after the late Mayor Moscone, it was initially concieved as a single exhibition hall. Over the years, it has expanded to include 2 more halls to the north and northwest. the annual SF Autoshow is held here every Thanksgiving weekend. the street between the north snd south halls are closed off during Oracle's conferences.
All around most major cities, meter maids patrol the streets on the lookout for revenue to fill city coffers. They hand out tickets for parking violations that come across their paths. Usually the violaters are non-moving cars. So it perplexes me as to why their little meter maid gokarts would be called Interceptors. On the rear bumper of one such vehicle pictured below, you may or may not be able to make it out but take my word for it. The word "interceptor" denotes speed or being able to cut off another's path. These little put puts does not inspire those meanints. You dont have to be very fast to cut off a parked car
One of the big movements in the restaurant business is the use of mobile kitchens such as the one below. Recently, the city opened up the process of getting a license for one of these businesses, making it easier to procure one. People lined up early.

Most times, people think of roach coaches when they see these trucks. but, nowadays, they are a haven for gourmet foods for those on the lookout for them. They offer a variety of foods and some are as enigmatic as the food they serve for they may not always show up in the same place. For these nomadic eateries, some keep in contact via social media like Twitter or Facebook
