Beautiful Spring Time

Though the evening chill still visits us time to time, it is definitely spring time in Berkeley, California now.  I'm utterly enchanted by the blooms everywhere - yellow, white, pink and red, etc.













The few white blooms above were shot in a somewhat foggy day but even so, the sense of spring was palpable.  Of course, even in spring time, there will be storms and storms and clouds can be beautiful, even in the forbidding urban setting like the two snap shots below:





Since I'm back to the urban landscape from nature, I'll include two more pictures from the Berkeley Art Museum, though industrial looking, the soft lighting echoed the spring outside the concrete walls.





Finally, below picture was a picnic I had last weekend, with my friends from my book group.  Marvelous luncheon.
