The yellow flowers are out in full force right now. Tabachine, hibiscus, cannas—yellow rules the day.

Proof of a Wild Mountain Walk (A Wild Redemption)

Trail
Abandoned sneakers crown a pile of drying palm fronds, as though they’ve been parted from their legs much as the palm fronds have been severed from their trees.
form walls
on either side,
then
way
to stalks
of purple blooms with saffron tongues
The white bands of butterflies striped like zebras announce their presence in the shade,
In the path lies the circular mounded artistry of ants that signals that new and private world they’ve cleared out for themselves below.
turns me homewards,
turning into soil.
and cobblestones
The runoff from last night’s rain shoots from the drain that pierces a high stone wall.
Happy face
that was here before we came, has been here all along,
and will remain after we leave. This is the more constant truth of the world, and I return home to create a reminder of it.

Tabachine: Flower of the Day, Dec 9, 2020

This tabachine bush blooms year round and there is usually a new crop of butterflies to flutter around it. Most of the hummingbirds have defected to the neighbors’ hummingbird feeder pictured in my Thanksgiving photos, but a few still come visit this little tree which is in perfect view from my studio.

I can’t believe how lush everything is right now, even before the rainy season. This is the view from my studio.

And here’s a closeup:

Tabachine with Butterfly: FOTD June 8, 2020

I sat for hours watching dozens of these black and orange/red butterflies flittering around the tabachine. They moved so fast that it was almost impossible to get a focused shot but the entire ballet was so beautiful.  Then one large yellow butterfly dive-bombed the bush and then soared out over the empty lot next door and back again. I saw it several other times.. a nice interruption. I am loving spending lots of time in my studio or hammock watching the busy life of my backyard. Then came the invasion of cows, but that is a story for another blog.
