This datura lives in a pot up on our This Is It! deck has made another bloom, they are quite rare this year...
This very sexy blossom is a variety different from the one I loved in the wilds of Arizona so many years ago. I now know it as an exotic family growing in larger forms, from San Francisco to Hawai'i ... & now here as well.
Such voluptuous form has had my camera's attentions earlier...
There is resonance between it & this evening's sky... after the views several days ago & yesterday morning, with various races & ragattas of boats...
These not from our home view...
Tonight's version of a rainbow got quite impossibly involved with the setting sun's color...
I do love living in this expanse of water scape, even as I tend to the closer landforms:



There are then the joys like this much more elusive jewel:
Or this puzzle of deformation on an equisetum our gardener Hawke brought to wonder:
On a walk several days ago the green contrasted with the beginnings of atumnal colors... I found this bit of perfectly square decay fascinating at the end of the trail near the beach.
I trust I will continue to find balance between such grid logic & the many more natural patterns in my life's various gardens...
I close with this opening into another hollow of wood on that same beach.
