  • Fruit Trees Are Blooming

    Though it is February, fruit trees are blooming in Berkeley. As are many magnolias. White, pink and purple, I have not seen yellow magnolias yet. Nisperos I saw in flower already before February, and some Vaccinium-type bushes are towards the end of their flowering. Citruses, too, are blooming, though they tend to do it year around.

    I expected my Winter Flowers in Berkeley-photos to be scarce but the weather has been clement. It has been a T-shirt weather Saturday and Sunday, monarch butterflies are fluttering again, and hummingbirds are in full swing. As is the spring chorus in general. I think the spring is early this year.

  • Still alive

    December 13th, Berkeley, CA

    Hello, again! I have not abandoned my blog, just neglected it.

    Here is a photo I took last week’s Saturday, while walking in Berkeley. Juxtaposition of red and yellow leaves and palms in sunlight at the beginning of winter (for me, the winter months are December, January and February)

    Today was the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. It was raining. I am still trying to decide which photos to use where, but I think these leaves on the ground have seasonal color.

    Merry Christmas!

    Maybe I should make colorized versions of these photos and post them as jigsaw puzzles?
