At the ruins of the Roberts Ranch House in Solstice Canyon (destroyed by fire in 1982), native and non-native plants vie for sunlight. Bird of paradise, ginger, bananas and limes grow under and between oaks, sycamores, and toyon.

We went out to eat, a pretty rare event for us. It was our anniversary, and too hot to cook. This guy seemed to approve.

While I had the collage materials out, I made another.

Happy anniversary to my ivory-tickler 🤍
