What does my world look like today? Well, Topanga Canyon is very green.. St. Patty's Day Green, in fact. Yet for much of the country, still dealing with the last snows, that is hard to embrace. Besides the green grasses growing everywhere, there are Mountain Lilacs blooming (Ceanothus oliganthus), pale blue or white blooms that cover the hillsides, imparting an undulating softness. I photograph them, hoping I do them justice.
A coyote barks into the night. There have been lots of them lately. This morning I was delighted to see a deer in my back yard! She jumped effortlessly over my picnic table on her way down the path from my house. A rare sight when you are a few miles from Los Angeles. I wanted to leave water out for her.. but wouldn't that be an ambush with coyotes in town? It is hard to know sometimes how to help wildlife. I decided to let nature decide that one.
