Sun Emerging
The fog burned off late in the morning, and it turned into a fine, sunny day, a good pottering Saturday. We cycled into campus in the morning, going to the open house for the new facility housing the UC Davis Herbarium. The herbarium in its old location had run out of space, and the collections were not temperature-controlled, leading to insect damage. The new location is in a brand-new science building on campus, with the collections stored in movable cabinets like they use for compactable shelving in libraries.
After lunch at Ali Baba’s, we went home and enjoyed the sunshine. The bees were out in force, visiting white violets and snapdragons. Pica worked on her calligraphy, and I did a couple of paintings: above is our car Nellie, with the levee to the north.
