On my walk I came across this beautiful rose vine covered cottage. The smell was very fragrant.

In the hills above San Jose, Ca

Ever once in a long while we get snow up in the hills in the east bay. Such a lovely sight it is to see especially in April.

Morton Bay Fig tree at the Shinn Gardens Niles, Ca. Brought over from New Zealand in the mid 1800’s. It’s a lovely big tree with an impressive root system.

After all the rain we’ve had the past few days we get lots of puddles for reflections.

Iris in the rain. The past few days we have had much welcome rain. Good for the earth and all it supports.

It’s Caturday and someone is lurking behind my flowers. What does the cat see? I hope only me.

We have a darling little wren that has fledged in our garden. It runs all over the yard and up into the patio. Mom and dad calling ( chatting ) to it all the time. How fortunate we are.

Excitement in my garden. I was out watering my fuchsias the other day and spotted this caterpillar. It’s a sphinx moth. Also known as the hummingbird moth. I hope it sticks around.

First bicolored one I’ve seen

My latest purchase. Kalanchoe. I didn’t go to the nursery to buy this. I went for something else, zinnias, which they didn’t have. But, I couldn’t pass this cutie up.

I know it’s hard to see but we have baby titmouse that have hatched in our nesting box at church. So exciting.

The old fashion reception area in a Flying A service station. So fun and interesting to look through the windows. Plus the outside is also a gem.

Woods Lake. A darling little lake in a beautiful setting off of Hwy. 88.
During winter it’s snowed in. It’s a good place for a get a way.

A cozy little cabin on Cables Lake. When the weather is warmer up in the mountains in Ca. This would be a nice place to spend a few days.

Yes it’s from the shade.

It’s that time of year in my area. Where the sweet scent of wisteria fills the air.
