This photo was taken from Black Hill, Morro Bay, and is looking across the Morro Bay Estuary towards Elfin Forest which is located at the furthest point of Morro Bay's inlet (just left of center vertically and just above center horizontally). This was taken in October 2025, before we had received winter rain, so the estuary is brown.
This photo was taken from one of the lookouts on the Elfin Forest trail in Los Osos, California. In the foreground is low vegetation that sits at the edge of a bluff overlooking the estuary which is green with various waterways running through it. Across the flat estuary is Black Hill (1/3 in from the right edge of the frame). The top of Black Hill is obscured by morning clouds. This photo was taken in April 2026 after we had received winter rain, so the estuary is green.

Both these photos were taken on the edge of the estuary, but from opposite sides. Pic #1 (left) is from Black Hill looking towards Elfin Forest. Pic 2 is from Elfin Forest looking towards Black Hill.

Image shows a “Swiss Cheese Plant” climbing a very old stone wall. The established plant has fruit the presents like an ear of corn. The fruit, when the green skin is peeled away, looks a great deal like white corn and tastes absolutely delicious! Hence the latin name, “Monstera deliciosa.”

Photo taken at the Outdoor Museum of Assemblage Art in Joshua Tree, California. The image is a close up capture of a black bowling ball with other balls out of focus and set in the distance. The artist, Noah Purifoy, created large scale abstract pieces of artwork from found or acquired mundane objects—thus the “assemblage” name given to his outdoor creative space. He was co-founder of The Watts Tower Art Center, attended CalArts, and since his death in 2004, some of his works have been taken from their desert space and shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Hammer Museum. The museum is a magical place and well worth the side trip if in the high desert area.

An semi-abstract drawing that is turned into a haiga. The picture shows a figure with two very long arms reaching up towards a ball that is made of a coiling wavy strand. The haiku reads: hurt living in fear, the world seems unbearable- embrace love to live Art by Josiah poem by Robert Emond.
