Wednesday, January 1

Happy New Year! I won't begin to account for the last week. It was filled with the tedious chores and bureaucratic tasks that accompany any relocation. But today we drove to Berkeley to poke around, and came across the Berkeley rose garden:

We slammed on the brakes!

The underlying structure of the garden in winter.

The amphitheater and stoa or loggia


Raspberry swirl ice cream.

A water feature as the amphitheater's stage

Dense vertical ground cover

Pasadena weeps.

I like pale yellow roses: "Sunny Flare"

Sluices and channels in the amphitheater.

The view from the "stage".

A volunteer's car: worth "clicking" to enlarge - très Berkeley
