Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, Berkeley, CA. The rainy season (winter) has started and new, hopeful green shoots are peeking.

Mosses are green, too.

Magnolias are blooming, different species than the big white ones in the summer. Those are now producing seeds. There seems to be always flowers in Berkeley, CA.

Berkeley palms against December sky. Later, it began to rain.

Then some Christmas ornaments. Or seed pods of a gumball tree (assuming I identified the species correctly.)

Finally, some late ginkgo leaves, most of the ginkgo leaves around here are already down, but there are some trees that even have some green left.

Merry Christmas to all!
