I made this graphic on Tuesday morning, before the Palisades Fire ripped through Malibu and burned down our house and everything in it. Food for thought, as we slowly replace myriad items that have been vaporised.
We have literally been dispossessed. Strange days.
Now that the sycamores have dropped their leaves, it’s easy to see the parasitic plants. I wondered how mistletoe seeds can get a hold on the underside of their hosts’ branches. Turns out the seeds are sticky!
Lovely winter’s morning hike with many moments of delight. Lots of shades of buff, tan, and grey, but also some surprising new green popping up, despite the lack of rain so far.
