Calming gray for my students’ final exam day
#berkeleyadventures

Got back out there today. New project. Exciting possibilities. Scenery was beautiful, though mixed emotions in the burn areas. Do you know my favorite oak? #fieldwork #berkeleyadventures

A very big pumpkin. 😄 #berkeleyadventures

Sunday farmer’s market. Supporting local, seasonal. #berkeleyadventures

Sunrise in 4 parts. #berkeleyadventures

Little #PiTheCat is 3yrs old now! This little dude feels like he has been a part of me forever. Kinda crazy that he is only 3. Best baby boi. #berkeleyadventures (image is a handsome male siamese on his back next to human mom’s legs, hugging an axolotl toy)

Cute stinky friend on campus today. Cage stinkhorn or Clathrus sp. #berkeleyadventures 🍄‍🟫🍄

Sometimes you are just lucky enough to find a specimen in its prime. This was the case with this hardwood sulphur shelf. It made for an incredibly delicious creamy lemon Chicken of the Woods risotto. Only one shelf made a whole meal. #FabulousFungi #berkeleyadventures

Gorgeous #rust #fungus on a leek. #berkeleyadventures 🍄‍🟫 🧅

Fabulous day. Not to mention an epic hawk and raven battle. Families of turkeys and quail. Many bebes. Voles, gophers, and ground squirrels. #BrionesRegional #berkeleyadventures

Some of the house orchids are blooming. These two specimens were rescued after they were tossed in the garbage after being staged for a house viewing. What does it say of our society that we so easily use and discard living organisms? #berkeleyadventures

TGIF #PiTheCat #berkeleyadventures

And a small knock on the front door was one of our many neighborhood raccoons. I did not answer. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures

Last night’s visitors include a doe and her two fawns. Saw her early on in the season and then not for a long while. Glad to see the little family is doing well. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures

I made meringues and they are too much fun. Used natural items to color and that added fun flavors too! The ube and matcha were my faves. #berkeleyadventures

Wrapping up summer term grading student papers with my very reliable grading buddy. He help. #BestBoi #PiTheCat #berkeleyadventures

My students got a hilarious moment today when I was holding my zoom office hours and I suddenly jumped in my chair because there was a giant deer right outside my window. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures

Had a bunch of egg whites leftover from making pasta, so I made pavlovas. Super yum! #berkeleyadventures

Homemade pasta with eggs from the girls. Very fun to make. Very tasty to eat. Definitely hard to cut even noodles without a pasta machine 😂 #berkeleyadventures

Good morning from my little zen princeling. #PiTheCat #berkeleyadventures

Tried to beat the heat with a spot of early yardwork today. Woo. 😛🥵🫠 But managed to keep the critters cool enough to be ok. #PiTheCat #MarieAntoinette #Sheila #Pterry #HappyLittleDinosaurs #berkeleyadventures

For a split second I thought I had my first yard snake when this one emerged ever so snakelike from its hole. Foiled again by the mighty alligator lizard!
Love these guys. This one appears to be a survivor (stump tail) #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
