Helicidae

I deeply adore snails.

 

During a recent visit to a citrus grove, I witnessed the land literally moving, as thousands

of snails made their way along the ground among the lemon trees.  Unfortunately this environmental imbalance is treated with chemicals, and waves of dried shells abound.    

Solsequia

 

 

5' dia.  ~ marigold, hydrangea, geranium, petunia, dahlia, and calibrachoa ~

Pallet Wood Topbar Beehive

 Just finished building my top bar beehive using 5 wood pallets. 

This was untreated wood marked HT that was rigorously sanded,

with the exterior finished in pure tung oil.

Field of Joy

Started some wonderful work near Montecito, CA this past week that I will share later on.

 While traveling out to the Channel Islands, we were blessed by 4 blue whales and

11 humpbacks circling the boat.  About 1100 dolphins greeted us in total euphoria

as we returned to the harbor. An amazing field of joy.
