Baby Blue Jay

This is Silver, a little crippled blue jay, being hand raised by my girlfriend Julie.  Here he's expectantly waiting  for his 3 x daily dose of worms, freshly dug from her compost.

Bougainvillea

Provides a nice riot of color along a white fence.

Purple Veggies

Sunday is Farmer's Market day.  Off I go again to buy my "vengetabels".  That's what my daughter used to call them, when she was little.  Because she hated them with a vengeance...

Green Water

Rocks carved by the creek, below the village.  The water is green with algae because it's summer.

Troll

A fiery red head, in undies.

Bathroom

We have old wooden houses, where Mother Mary and Krishna watch out over the John.

Sunny Porch

Triple Toaster

Seen in Julie's kitchen.

Happy Dog

We have lots of happy dogs, like this one here, lounging on the porch recliner..

Heirloom Tomatoes

Sunday is Farmer's Market day.  =)

Muffins

At the Mimosa Cafe.  Wheat free, gluten free, locally baked and delicious. 

Sunset Colors

Same evening as the rainbow in the east, this is what the sky looked like in the west.

Twilight Rainbow

Here's a rare and unusual happening, just after sunset last night.

Happy Chickens

And happy home grown eggs!

Caged Garden

Topanga gardens have fences on all sides, above and below to keep out the ravenous veggie predators:  Bunnies, squirrels, birds, coons, coyote, and deer in all shapes and sizes. 

Potbelly Pig

Here is one of Joshi's two ravenous composters. 

Organic Veggies

The Sunday Farmer's Market in Encino has my favorite veggie growers, providing the goods.  Here's fresh, crispy, juicy abundance from the Given's Farm in Goleta.  http://www.johngivensfarm.com/index.html

Spare Tire

Gotta have it, along with a luggage rack.  =)

Antique Tricycle

Actually, it's a motorcycle with sidecar, seen in front of the Malibu Inn.

Blimp

There's a Goodyear blimp, floating over the Malibu pier. 

Prayer Flags

Strung across the creek bed in Fernwood.

Creek-side Trail

Nothing much to see here, but dappled shade, a bit of water and mother nature, at Cold Creek Cyn.

Brunch at Pat's

Look at the size of those ... on the Eggs Benedict!

Mobile

Exploring the multi-dimensional chambers of the heart.  

Cabin in the Woods

Where I spend the most enjoyable part of my recent vacation.

Outhouse

A nice, big solid throne, with tarp.  =)

Jai Ganesha

Not in Topanga, but here's a homage to the Remover of Obstacles, from my recent retreat to Mount Starchild.  Jai Jai Ganesha!

Long Legs

Another long legged shadow picture...

Ancient Oaks

Back from my 10 day sojourn with the ancient ones.  =)
Someone mentioned that it takes these oaks 300 years to grow, another 300 years to mature, followed by 300 years of decline.
