A serene Sunday afternoon during our November SF Zoo trip in 2023. Framed by the stunning architecture of my home, its lush porch garden and towering Fir tree provided the perfect backdrop. As the sun climbed its way to the zenith of a clear blue sky, the laughter of five people echoed around the yard, making memories under the wooden arbour's shelter. The attractive pathway, lined with slate and flagstone, beckoned inviting guests towards the plywood pergola in the distance. A beautiful amalgamation of nature and architecture - creating a tranquil woodland sanctuary in an urban setting.
