Quail Crossing, Topanga, California, Photo by Kathy Vilim
It is morning in Topanga, California. I go out to my garden, coffee mug in hand. As I push the wooden screen door open, I am welcomed by the sound of dozens of wings flapping all at once! A flock of California Quail has taken flight, startled by my arrival. Wonderful!
I sit and reflect on when I first moved here, when my garden was new. I had watched the Quail families travel along a path in the back of the garden.. story continues
Welcome to my Garden Blog
Nature: wild & untouched. Photographing it, preserving it, taking walks and drinking in the landscapes as they unfold.
Gardens: touched by loving hands. Cultivated, nurtured. Drinking in those landscapes is wonderful, as well.
In my garden one enjoys some of both. Generally unpruned & wild, my plants reshape the garden as they grow.

Beyond the garden borders, natives from the Santa Monica Mtns await. Oak trees with their shady canopies. Cactus & Sage in the sun.
Always there are animal creatures to join in the fun.
I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with you as they unfold.
