I wasn’t the only one enjoying the strawberry trees in the library garden. The birds, bees and butterflies were hanging out with me.

Ready to roll
Spotted on my neighbourhood walk this morning.
birthday cards
It’s been a while since I played with collage/mixed media. Always fun.
towards point dume
I’m beyond lucky to have this as my daily view.
crassula arborescens
I somehow managed to make the silver dollar jade look like a bunch of lollies bursting out of their paper bag. PARTY!!!
ficus benjamina
We have these two ficus trees growing in pots under the arbor. They’re old — I’ve lived here ten years and they were probably here for at least ten years before that. Apparently they prefer sunny conditions but they’re doing fine in full shade. Tough old buggers.
stand tall amongst the mustard
Working on my trees. I had a huge aha when I heard Liz Steel say she uses Yellow Ochre as the yellow in her mixed greens for foliage. Giving it a go.
pink and yellow
The native bush sunflowers (Encelia californica) are just about done for the year. The invasive fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is still going strong 😩
topanga
Four mile hike with V at Topanga — the wildflowers are changing week by week.
eating the rainbow
Checking to see if I’m eating the rainbow. I did pretty well yesterday.
