The Magpie Nest: Cali Fuschia

Feathers of Hope

A weblog on nature and place, the design arts, critters, and baseball...

Who We Are

Numenius is a geographer by training and temperament. He is a Bay Area native, and grew up roaming the East Bay hills. Pica takes her cue from Pica nuttalli, the endemic magpie of central California, chatty and alighting on gleaming things. Pica has another blog, Bird by Bird, in which she records a sketch of a bird per day.

Cali Fuschia

Pica is away in Maine visiting her sister this long weekend. I did a few sketches in the Arboretum today after going to hear a morning talk on campus despite the holiday by Bruce Babbitt. The California fuschias (Epilobum canum) were very much in bloom.
