Avocado Orchard TL
Dan Schultz’s “Avocado
Orchard”
painted in oils, showing
splashes of light
off the green leaves with muted
mountains
in the background reflects
the hike
my sisters and I took
yesterday
as we went past a
Carpinteria high school.
The path weaved through
many greenhouses, over
bridges,
by pomegranate trees,
birds of paradise,
various types of cactus
and bushes
and up and up the rocky,
dirt path.
We greeted fellow hikers
as they passed.
We took pictures of a wake
of vultures
relaxing in a shady wooded
area,
a spider climbing its web
with it’s
cotton-like encased victim
in tow,
and us on a rustic bridge
and at various points on the
trail.
A victory picture shows
two of us making it to the
top,
while the third waited for
us
at the point where
steepness began.
Thank You, Lord, for
avocados,
warm November weather
and love between sisters.
