Got to get in the swing of things. I'm loving everyone's photos from where they live. So here are photos of and/or from my town of Berkeley.
Someone else's superior night time photo looking to San Francisco from my side of the bay.

Heidi frolicking at low tide at our local dog park.

Someone's superior evening shot of my town from up in the hills looking past the Campanile, the most recognizable building in Berkeley on the UC campus.

One of the things I appreciate about my town is its willingness to laugh at itself, as shown here in the "How Berkeley Can You Be?" parade.

And we've got 'characters' including the burly guy with Tourette's syndrome who goes by "Rawr", Naked Guy and - pictured here- Pink Man. This guy will roll into bars and sing his songs as well as tool around town and on campus.

Then there are lots of parks along the East Bay hills, including Tilden shown here, above my town. I took this one back when Fletch was still around, with Heidi.

Here in Tilden, while the town of Berkeley is under low clouds or fog, it will often be sunny. My photo.

Our botanical garden has the reputation for being the one with the greatest number of species, and it is a great place to view fauna as well as flora.

I live on this block of this street. On the left are only warehouses, on the right houses and apartments. We live just a little further down in the littlest warehouse, the one between two vacant lots. The one lot is my garden. The other is the Berkeley Youth Alternatives community orchard. Behind the row of warehouses is Strawberry park, occupying the land where the Santa Fe RR used to pass through. Aren't the overhead power and telephone lines ugly?

Finally here is a shot taken by someone else in Strawberry Creek park. You can just see my the top of my (grey) building above the pink warehouse in the foreground.

Y'all come see me now, ya hear?
