Woke up this morning by the first thunder rolls I have heard in years. Driving here led me through two days of sage brush, one of green meadows, and about the same number of trees as horses. It feels good to be nowhere again. (at Sioux Falls, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cda6lHGuJ0j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hiking near Big Basin Redwoods State Park today where fires raged not too long ago. I have never walked through a forest that had so recently burned, and I was amazed at how quickly the redwoods were rebounding— even trees severed from their roots were sending out strong new leaves. I didn’t realize they could do that! https://www.instagram.com/p/CHmXn2fBpMz/?igshid=la5x4ln2zbnt

So thankful today, and every day, for this amazing and adventurous life, and thankful for the loved ones that I hold close to my heart. ❤️❤️❤️ Here’s to another trip around the sun... https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYbkBuhcIK/?igshid=yi1kkow3z44y

Such a pleasure to watch this garden transform over the last 10 years! It’s one of my favorite gardens that we care for, and the Persimmon tree we planted puts on quite a show in the fall. 🍁 (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOs_Klhn1T/?igshid=1jn2069gbpwrh

The mural paint is scarred with bubbles from the fires that took out a few warehouses in my neighborhood a month or two ago. The second photo is all that is left of the building with the plant wall that once thrived under my care. (at Mission District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmu59DhGNn/?igshid=j3ms77iydgs5

Hopping on a plane today— first time since January. It’s the middle of the day but this place is deserted. Instead of the usual sounds of bustling and chatting people, I hear the much quieter buzz of machines and HVAC hums. The restaurants are dark with the chairs on the tables. Feels like 3am at the airport rather than 10am. (at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUz0o0hhPS/?igshid=1n9abjbqw0rg

This is the view from my bed with the lights off. At 10:30am. No filter except for the big one in the sky. I’ve never seen anything like this and it keeps getting darker. It’s silent outside. No birds singing. Strange times, indeed... (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7K3oDBYq6/?igshid=1djfwsguxhxrq

Orange skies for so many days now . . . https://www.instagram.com/p/CE54OMrhId3/?igshid=1otyt4ptgcvia

So thankful to have this dear one by my side. Here’s a pic from our photo shoot today. Hope you are all healthy and well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3n2MkB1pg/?igshid=x13tp66qzp21

Walking in the rain this morning was beautiful. Zoom talks with friends today have been so uplifting. The stillness is amazing. Hope you and your loved ones are happy and well. ❤️ (at San Fran Mission District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nIJEDhl74/?igshid=l7l1sjet0sf1

So much time on my hands ;) https://www.instagram.com/p/B98Hhf6Bpf9/?igshid=91eknlvvpon5

This is my most favorite fallen leaf in San Francisco. I love the elegant silvery tongued blades, the spaces in between, their gradations of grey. (at San Fran Mission District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Nc3E-hvFg/?igshid=1o7n0q3m3mo2p

Gotta love the Feelca B! Walking around the Mission on this fine day. (at The Mission) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8DMtyjBAmg/?igshid=1r0jqhcpoa82h

Woke up like this! Ha! So thankful for good friends and family. So happy with my life and where I’m at. Looking forward to what’s ahead. ❤️ (at Occidental, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4p2jHKBdUD/?igshid=wsk9fi8glo2f

I absolutely love the work that I do to bring people the joy of plants! My “offices” have the best views. My art is scattered all over this dang city. I feel so very grateful . . . 🌱🌿🌺 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4njaxvhcQ3/?igshid=3ocsm2q8j3kk
