The days get longer, the mornings become easier to start, and the mid-afternoons are warmer and more inviting than I can bear to stand as I pace back and forth through the lab glancing out at the sunshine that wasn't quite warm enough when I started the day, and will vanish before I end it.
I spend a lot of time while not inside the lab I work at (Photolab in SW Berkeley on 5th) at or around the general vicinity of the Berkeley Aquatic park on Bolivar and Bancroft. I love to ride my bike around blasting tunes and snapping shots as I zone out during my circumnavigation of the man-made lake (more of a water-rectangle).
