A full day of beauty: The UC Davis Arboretum, the people
I love street photography, but I’d rather it was candid. I know that’s the more difficult way to go, but it tells a better story. Fortunately, it was a weekend and the people were out enjoying the weather and beauty of the UC Davis arboretum. There were families, students, runners, cyclists, and many more. I’ll tell you about each image in the gallery. If I have room, I’ll also put in some odds and ends that I either forgot or didn’t fit into my three categories.
Some street photography!

There were lots of dog walkers.
And dog sitters! This woman actually had two dogs, but this poodle was regal.

A street musican entertained us during lunch.

Here we are. From Left, Laura, Me, Marlene. At least I think that’s the order! It was Marlene’s idea for us to do this shot of our shadows.

At one time or another we have to use the bathroom. This one is tiled on the outside.
