Freesias.....I wish the internet had smell so you could inhale their sweet scent. Mom puts them in vases all around the house and the aroma is with you all the time.

This Starbuck's used to be Ortman's Ice Cream. With my precious 10 cents I used to buy a small slush on the way home from school. Or bubblegum ice cream.
The name escapes me now but these are great hummingbird plants. In the Bay Area climate everyone has fields of plants that are considered practically tropical by Portland standards.
As always, a very cool town. Don't know if I'll ever live there again but it's only an hour's flight away.

I think those orange flowers are called Montbretia's.
Beautiful! Why would anyone live anywhere else?

I ask myself that same question every time I go back.
Sounds like a pretty cool trip. Makes us want to visit there! I haven't been there in many years, though I always liked it. Also, great photos. It's always fun to see birds from other areas. Thnaks!
AWWWWW!! ("Memories....light the corners of my mind....misty water-colored memories....of the way we were....") **snif**
***HONK*** (Okay, big nose-blow there...)
SERIOUSLY! How sweet! No shots of the First Unitarian Church o' Berkeley (really in Kensington, as we know) but really, you got it all. Yes, it will always be home! And good ol' Ortmans.....remember MacFarland's (isn't that what the other ice cream place was called?)
No but I did get a shot of the fire station at Marin and The Alameda. :)
Awhh, a glimpse into your childhood. I like it.
What a very nice tour of a lovely and interesting place!
