I love you; do you love me? (For a larger view, click on the photos.)
 

For those who have been following along with the Yearlong Retreat—here is a beautiful mushroom to serenade.

The ground below the majestic oaks is already blanketed with tall grass and paperwhites soon to bloom.
 

The toyon offer their green leaves and red berries for the holidays.

Rain and sun have collaborated over more than two decades to pour perfect, dry woodchips out of the south-facing underside of this downed oak. Every day a treasure hunt!

Now in full bloom, each manzanita tree is a raucous party!
