Masked & Maskless

Waiting for a meal? Wear a mask. Eating a meal? Don’t wear a mask.

Coastal Palms

Gouache, palm trees, ocean, beach, coast. California!

Aspens

I love aspens – the way their leaves quiver, the fact that a grove could be one ginormous plant, the colors they add to the mountains as the seasons change.

‘Nuff said.

Fences

Fences divide, keep in, keep out, protect, hide.

They provide a backdrop for flowers.

Protection for sensitive terrain.

Barriers and intimations.

Monterey Pines are some truly elegant trees. If you have never seen one, but you like trees, you will enjoy these. They have a totally non-pine-tree shape, and grow in odd directions, often pushed by the wind you experience on the Monterey Peninsula. These are trees I photographed along our walk while visiting Monterey and Pacific Grove last week.
