It was a cloudy day with light rain. Not a great day for travel but a good day for flower photography. I went up to the Regional Parks Botanic Garden in Tilden Park in Berkeley, CA which is only about ten minutes from home. Many more flowers are in bloom since I last visited. I especially focused on a number of species of Calochortus, Trillium and Fritillaria. Other species I especially noticed were alliums, lewisias, lupines, delphiniums, dogwoods, erythroniums and poppies.
