California Images

Welcome

This is the sight that welcomed us at my sister and brother-in-law's front door.


Beckoning us to enter their home.



The entry surrounded by beautiful greenery and flowers.

Barbeque

We drove across the city for a barbeque... and sat under this huge avocado tree loaded with fruit!
 

There was a big cactus with a boot hanging from it.


Boomer the quiet greyhound dog was one of our hosts.

Celebration




The main event was an anniversary celebration held at the private dining room at The Getty Center.  It was simple and elegant, featuring white linen, orchid centerpieces and Jim "Kimo" West playing slack key guitar.

Santa Monica



This bird and a friend swooped down onto this rooftop.  The other bird left a short time later, and this one remained, constantly moving, sometimes disappearing to the other side of the roof, then popping back up to the top of the roof, walking back an forth.



  Ferns and flowers.


Gnarly-rooted trees.
