This new fence caught my eye from across the street

All along the fence there are rows of peep holes of different shapes and sizes.

The boards are on the otherside for one section of fence. The neat row of cactuses along it reminded me of Frida Kahlo’s cactus fence in Mexico City

On the front corner there is yellow grid in conversation with the three squares to the right. Im not as big a fan of this side. It looks a bit too post modern.

The owner of this fence also has a bright blue garage door

I got to go to John’s company party the other day. The food was good. Here are some photos of the house and gardens and some of the party-goers and feast.

It is more energy-efficient to have a square, compact house, but when you live in California and you have a beautiful piece of land with some nice views, it is hard not  to connect the inside to the landscape with courtyards.   This H-shaped piece of architecture works pretty well, although it would have been better if the site was on the north wall of the valley rather than the north-east.  I imagine that the courtyard is sometimes unusable on a hot afternoon with the low-angle sun beaming across the valley.   As you can see from some of the photos, the house has a lot of creative and artful details.
