Communicate yes & no

A closeup of a Prince bu.., I mean, a purple bulb. Taken in Irvine while waiting for the food to finish cooking at friend’s house. Larger picture.

Also posted on Flickr. A few days before the fateful night of my emergency entry to the hospital. I think the hospital looked red too. I mean, purple.

The bottom light on my favorite stop sign light, taken in a nice fog on Berkeley hills in the UC Berkeley campus [Cal]. Larger version

I included the top part of the stop sign light on purpose to show that nothing’s imperfect when it comes to accepting something about it. Taken after the picture titled “Favorite Berkeley Stop Sign Light in Fog.”

Favorite Berkeley Stop Sign Light In Fog

A Misty Tree. [Larger version].

What you do is this: Buy a foot-long Subway sandwich with their $5 special [yummy tuna yay!]. Bring it and sit in an open field clogged with fog – Yay. Don’t worry about bringing water or drinks with you – the beautiful environment will make you forget about thirst due to eating for a while.

Start eating, and then decide on taking a picture. Take out your camera and drop half of the sandwich filling onto the grass, and some on the camera. Then start wondering if you should be sad looking at the wasted yummy food, or if you should continue taking pictures.

Make sure you clean up after yourself. Only if you wish, that is. Also figure out whether you want to pick up the food from the grass first or wipe off the camera clean first.

I call this A Misty Tree for a Misty Spree on Flickr. [Which title/name do you prefer?]

In the land of the Mountain Lions

Sign warning against Mountain Lions in Berkeley

In Berkeley, though the sign made it sound like I should start running if I see or hear anything. Taken after the picture titled "Stop in Berkeley fog & rain."

Here kitty kitty kitty.

The lion/cat drawn on that sign actually looks chubby and cute – Bigger version

While I was taking this picture I heard something behind me and almost thought if I should run or take the picture of the lion. It was just the sound of the leaves.

I’m sure the lion was looking at me from behind those trees up ahead and thinking "Sheesh, I should just roar to see if he really stands around to pet me or if he runs after throwing his camera at me."
