Not the best photo~ this is a tiny creature caught my eye washed ashore in the surf on my walk. Blue Button aka Porpita Porpita. Looking like a tiny jelly fish but they aren't- they are a colony of smaller living organisms ( hydroids). First time seeing it in SoCal. #bluebutton #pacificocean

I am noticing more and more bluff failures in So Cal. This is a piece of a bluff that crumbled recently. Quite a large chunk. Looks cool in the afternoon sun... #encinitas #pacificocean

Every day a bit of daylight is lost, gray marine layers, cooler air, hot tea...ramps up my knitting. The yarns, the rhythm of knitting, the effects of the colors and textures of yarn, planning new projects...makes me calm and content in a world of chaos. #knitting #autumn

The Golden Door Table~cook book now available! It’s the best cookbook I’ve seen in awhile. Eating healthy is a key pillar to health~ The Golden Door understands. A hidden gem with a lovely country store and wonderful people. The oranges that grow there are magical. Congrats to all! #goldendoor

I wonder if like me, others need a little time to just be, wake up, listen to the birds, watch the sunrise, breathe, sit on a rock, enjoy a simple cup of coffee~and marvel at all of the good and positive in this world. #morningcoffee #contemplations

The wild fire smoke from Washington State and Idaho arriving to Portland and Columbia River this morning. My eyes hurt… my throat is raw.. So sad .. especially for those who lost their homes, the wildlife who lost their homes, the danger for firefighters..

I have several Acorn Woodpeckers in my yard. They have been very busy drilling holes in the dead tree to store acorns. I love their red hats and personality..... #birds

I have a huge, sprawling Engelmann Oak (Quercus Engelmann) in my backyard. Majestic tree. They are now classified as an endangered species in SoCal. Glad to see so many acorns forming. I love this tree. #engelmannoak #tree

I found this beauty on the ground when working in my garden. I don't know what happened. Painted Lady butterfly. The wings are a piece of art. Nature is incredible. #butterfly

I saw the sky earlier this afternoon and knew there was a fire in the vicinity - the Mateo Fire in San Diego County. It looks dramatic as the sun starts to set. Colors everywhere are muted. Fire awareness is now year round. #fire #climatechange #sandiego
