Today was my first day in San Francisco, and I’m staying with my best friend Natalie, and her husband (also my friend–most of the time–LOVE YOU Scott :). We went up to the UC Berkley Botanical Garden. GORGEOUS! Here are some pics.
(I don’t know the name of each of the areas. And, I have lost my map among all of the stuff I bought today.)

Love these pics! The blueberry pic makes me hungry…
Gorgeous! Nothing like seeing things through the eyes of a tourist to make you appreciate your own backyard.
I’ve always tried to get away from the northeast in mid-to-late winter. While you live farther south, I’m sure it’s still grand to escape… and all the way to the west coast! Your photos have me pining for a trip to just about anywhere that’s farther into spring than we are. A day at a botanical garden would be very soothing. Thanks for sharing.
