Garden Party

I went to a dinner party set in an amazing private garden. Like the gracious and multi-talented hostess, it was an organized profusion of complexity and beauty. Very, very cool.

It was a potluck, so I this was my dish, broccoli cheese tortellini salad:

Our table:

We were surrounded by a Buddha, a fountain and a Koi pond:

That red blur is a dragonfly:

 A carnivorous plant called Dutchman’s Pipe, front and back:

There was a hen and fruit trees, and numerous nooks to explore.  It was a balmy Cali night in a beautiful setting, with great company and wonderful food.
