It's February, so spring is here in northern California. I like the color combination of this garden, and I love those succulents anywhere.

The best part is that this is now the sky at 5pm! I'll get the best of you yet, Daylight Wastefulness Time.

I don't want to give you the wrong impression about Berkeley, it only rained for an hour or two, but that was long enough to spot these glossy stones on my way to the grocery store.

Tree art on the Berkeley campus (near North Gate)! Accompanied by a three-stick teepee structure behind it. This was very well put-together, and threw a pretty shadow.

A corvid on some power lines, on my way to work. Can't get enough of the sky here.

I live next to a Capuchin monastery, and this is their holiday setup. (I didn't take a straight-on shot because a monk was working at his desk right behind the statuary, and I didn't want to disturb him.)

In Laurel Heights for an orthodontist appointment, I ran across this gorgeous brick building, complemented by the unbelievable California sky.
