day in Berkeley

Today we went to Berkeley and had a stimulating, wonderful time. We ate vegan Japanese--here's Erik's sushi bowl.



We went to the botanic garden. Erik will post pictures of plants on his blog, I'm sure. Here's a fabulous one I took of him.



It was cloudy and felt like fall, though it wasn't very cool--just a hint of coolness in the air.

Here's one of my favorites of the day: rosehips.



And here's another: melon, or squash.
