It was beautiful here today, with blue sky traced by a few wispy clouds and temperatures in the mid-70s. We went for a walk and saw some tiny dark purple-black berries I hadn't noticed before. Perhaps one of you knows what they are.

And we saw what looked like figs, which I also don't think I have seen before. I would have thought our winters to be too cold for the plants. Figs apparently have been dated to the cretaceous era.

And finally, also from the cretaceous, some roaming front-yard velociraptors.
