Daffodils

Kent Middle School near the College of Marin campus has bed of several varieties of daffodils.  Wait - are they daffodils, jonquils or narcissus? 

According to The Flower Expert, daffodils, the flowers symbolizing friendship, are one of the
most popular flowers exclusively due to their unmatched beauty. Often the trumpet is in a contrasting color from the background. The name Daffodils includes the cluster-flowered yellow Jonquils and the White Narcissi, as well as the more common trumpet shaped flowers; all are members of the genus Narcissus.

Art installation


I think this must be a permanent art installation on the College of Marin campus, near the track.  When I sent you a picture of this a month or so ago, there were sandbags on them, as if holding them in place.  The bags are gone now, so the shapes must be permanent.

Half Day Cafe


Every Thursday morning after some of us walk on Corte Madera Creek and others run on the College of Marin track, we meet at the Half Day Cafe for breakfast. Sometimes the table swells to 12 or 13 of us and Erica & Kendall give us each separate checks! 

The Half Day has a small entrance on the street and it's only a counter for take-out.  The main restaurant entrance is in the back next to the parking lot. Confusing if you don't know. . .

Hawk

At 7 o'clock Thursday morning at the College of Marin parking lot just before the sun came up, a hawk sat silhouetted against the lightening sky.

Mt. Tamalpais


This is 2,500-foot Mt. Tamalpais (usually called Mt. Tam) as seen from the College of Marin parking lot about 10 days ago.

New tree

The spirit of plants is indomitable! This clump of trees was roughly cut to facilitate re-construction of the Physical Education Building at the College of Marin. But - this tree hasn't given up; it's sending up a beautiful fresh shoot to create a new tree.

My next photo will be on Tuesday November 11. I'm going to Carol Ritberger's weekend class on Destiny vs. Fate - in Eldorado Hills
