Beige, brown and a splash of color: Days of rain and mud gave way to high winds and reddening sky. Meanwhile a little furniture rearranging; pottery to glaze and climbing squirrel. #sevendayssevenphotos #photography #california

A respite from the news: Sometimes you just have to spend some time with flowers or admiring busy hummingbirds or a slightly foggy walk to find a little peace among the chaos. Trying very hard not to strike Shadow’s response to “Let’s go.”#sevendayssevenphotos

Eye catchers: Renka ikebana; morning light through trees; evening light; symbolic F bombshell — handy when reading the news; book group book and food; pink clouds; new trail shoes. #sevendayssevenphotos

Busy: Leaves only assignment before and after ikebana class; floating egrets; the beauty around every corner at Huntington Gardens; Friends of the Library luncheon with updates from library staff; gnarly bark; and first try at a pottery mug. #sevendayssevenphotos
