Lacy Locust
Entry No. 35
In keeping with my tree theme of the past week I thought I'd share a view of the 80 year old locust tree that stands in our yard. I can't wait for it to bloom again.

This beautiful piece by Ryan Kerrigan, entitled 'Redwood', was donated to the City of Berkeley by Earth Island Institute. It covers an unsightly signal box and is located near the corner of Shattuck and Allston Way.

Sweet Spot
Entry No.31
When they first filled in the pool at my grandmother's apartment complex I was annoyed, but I must say this sweet little spot has grown on me over the years.

Parasites are Beautiful, Too
Entry No. 30
Although the plant is quite lovely, it's what led to the photo that is wonderful. This parasitic vine grows up around the fuschia in our front yard every year. No matter how I try I can never get rid of it. This spring Julian thought he would try. Yard by yard, as he unwound it he became enthralled with the way the leaves grow and asked me to take a picture of it. The wonderful thing is that it only took 10 minutes outside for my gadget-loving boy to fall in love with a lowly weed.

The Shape of Things to Come
Entry No. 29
The new bridge is going to dwarf the old Bay Bridge. Normally I'm not that impressed with man- made structures, but I think I'm becoming a little obsessed with this thing.

This vintage beauty stopped me in my tracks as I walked through the Fruitvale District today.

Stained Glass?
Entry No. 27
When I looked outside this afternoon, my neighbor's tibouchina looked like stained glass, so I took a picture and crossed my fingers. Sure enough, 'ooh, that looks like stained glass!', is the first thing my son said when he saw the photo. Do you see it, too?

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
Entry No. 25
I love this little picket fence that runs along the frontage road of the 580 in the Dimond district. The effort that the owners made to brighten an often run down stretch of road always makes me smile.

Spring Surprise
Entry No. 22
I don't know what this yellow flower is, but it has been showing up every year in this grey pot for about the last 10 years. I forget about it all year long and it catches me by surprise every Spring.

Home
Entry No. 20
I was just about to go outside to find something to photograph for today's entry when I noticed the reflection in the window of our front door. So many elements of what make this place home, the window that looks out to the neighbor's house, the locust tree, our bamboo, the yellow column on our front porch, all encircled by the wreath of magnolia that I gathered from our neighborhood. Home.
