Botanical gardens at Balboa Park, San Diego.

In most US cities, the share of trips made by bike struggles to reach 2%. In Davis it’s 10 times that – but the city is becoming less and less of a paradise for pedalling
The Botanical Building, aka The Lath House, was built for the 1915-16 Exposition held in San Diego's Balboa Park and is one of the largest lath structures in the world. It is eminently photographable, we walked by it several times and I had to snap a photo every single time. That's why the light is so different in some of these images. According to balboapark.org: "The Botanical Building plantings include more than 2,100 permanent plants, featuring fascinating collections of cycads, ferns, orchids, other tropical plants and palms. The Botanical Building also presents some of the Park’s vibrant seasonal flower displays." Unfortunately the seasonal displays during our December visit were nothing but poinsettia, not a favorite of mine. Those palms however, they're lovely... Heading inside... The poinsettia were everywhere! Hard to avoid them even when photographing an impressive staghorn fern. Anthurium podophyllum (there were some labels in the lath house) Blechnum speciosa 'Silver Lady' The "shorter tree fern"... Ready to leave and taking one last look before turning around... To this view! Everybody enjoys the sunshine. The Timken Museum of Art backs up against the pond, that's where these beauties were planted, against the museum building. I don't think I could ever tire of that silver blue color. Now we're down in the Australian Gulley Garden. If you read my earlier rant then you know...this garden is extremely hard to locate, and a little underwhelming once you get there. There were, again, no labels that I could find. So none of my attempts at ID can really go any further than the genus. This of course is a eucalyptus. Dried up banksia (?) Still cool, but I think I'd prefer it alive. Grevillea, maybe G. 'pink pearl' Leucadendron Lovely... An acacia, I believe. Eucalyptus Brachychiton (bottle tree) Erythrina And so this is: THE END. Well, of this post. We still have the Desert Garden (different from the Old Cactus Garden) and the Zoo to see (soon). All material © 2009-2015 by Loree Bohl for danger garden.

Another of the well-built bridges in the Forest of Nisene Marks. About a half mile up the creek from here is the epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake which did billions of dollars worth of damage in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is also the "Bottom of the Incline," as it is called because of the logging rig that used to be in place here. The railway went nearly straight up the mountainside and they lowered ton after ton of felled old-growth redwood trees.
