I made this sketch from my car this morning on Shattuck Avenue in North Berkeley. A storm was coming in, which is now pelting us with rain.

Horizontal Landscapes December 4th, 2006
This weekend was clear, bright, crisp and cool in the Bay Area: simply gorgeous. On Saturday I went hiking with a friend in the Briones Regional Park, east of Berkeley. On Sunday, we drove with some other folks up to the Bodega area of Sonoma County to tour the Bodega Goat Farm, an organic goat cheese farm. Both areas were stunning this weekend: wide and low and green.

Fire! November 19th, 2006
We live in the Berkeley Hills not far from the area of the devastating 1991 Firestorm; fire is a big concern. On September 27th this year we were awoken at 3:00am by the crackling and whooshing of a fire. The fire was huge, embers were raining down on our house and yard, and we prepared to evacuate. Luckily the firemen did come and got the fire under control, no one was hurt, and only one house was destroyed. It was a scary experience, though.
I drew the sketch from memory a few hours later. The next day, I found this photo online; they are amazingly close, I think!
