It truly is Oz-like in San Rafael. It's so beautiful, even when it's raining. Where else can you look over your fence and be greeted with a double rainbow?! No wonder people in Marin are so smug...
They were selling these interesting, sci-fi-looking bouquets at the Marin Farmers' Market today. The pinkish flower is called protea, and the yellow phallic-looking one... I'm not sure. It's one of the strangest plants I've ever seen!
