Finally (for now, at least), a view from the bridge.

An old bay, another survivor of a fire.

"Pissed Off Salmon Crossing" is more like it.

Ruins of a fishpond at Camp Taylor. Samuel Taylor built a hotel close by, too. It did not survive.

Her inside walls, showing growth over the burned area. Such survivors are these trees!

Inside beautiful redwood, looking out and up. She survived quite a fire at some point.

With luck, before long I'll have more baby rabbits foot ferns than you can shake a stick at. Like one? DM me. Please?

This is one of the new additions to my garden: lobelia laxifolia, aka Mexican lobelia.

The world according to Americans

Everything out of the oven.

A bit of my tiny garden.

Thimbleberries and cow parsnip
