In May of 2005, my soon to be very good friend landscape designer Gina Neusteter and Andres Haro owner of my weekly gardening services and so much more, changed my outdoor living space forever. On this Wordless Wednesday, I’d like to share how my garden continues to grow. They both had a vision and I…
Broken Wing
It started as a normal day, getting ready to drive away to a meeting, when something caught my eye that demanded my attention. Oh no, it’s a monarch with a broken wing.This can’t be good. How can it possibly fly and how long can it live in this condition? I have to move it to…
Bird LA Day
This past Saturday the Los Angeles Chapter of the Audubon Society had events across the city. It doesn’t take much for me to be inspired to step outside with my camera.

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Each week I look for inspiration that will lift me up and tell a story. This is how it started. I woke to the sound of rain drops, so many rain drops falling from the sky. My first thought was, ah oh, something has gone terribly wrong with my sprinkler system. Then as I listened…
The Oscar Goes To…Reflections
Today is special for many reasons and it’s all good. While I am not up for any awards, I thought about the word reflection as I seem to be caught up in a major personal growth spurt. Sometimes along with growth spurts come growing pains. I’ve actually be known to be a pain to others,…
What’s All The Flapping About?
I don’t have to go too far from my house to see birds in action. I am truly an amateur photographer, make no mistake. But I had the good fortune to spend some time with a friend that knows a thing or two about cameras! Off we went to one of my favorite locations, the…
