Oakland, California has a year- round Saturday Farmers Market. You can see information about the market, including a short video at this link:

Erick and I set out walking around 11:30 AM and by noon we were at the market. I only wanted a few things so as not to have a lot to carry back with us. We munched some lunch at one of the many food-to-go vendors. I had a 4-cheese version of one of these:

On the way back, we saw more flowering plants that stopped us in our tracks. Here are a few.

| Rhododendron |

| Magnolia at its peak |

| Clivia (Kafir Lily) - we had a large one indoors back in Michigan |

| So many flowing trees and bushes! |
