Autumn in the desert

Happy Thanksgiving!

This photo was taken last year just after Thanksgiving.  It's of a "bonsai" Ginko (with bougainvillea) that I bought for my partner when we moved here from Alameda (in the Bay Area) five years ago.  The street we lived on in Alameda was lined with beautiful, mature Ginkos.  It's what we anticipated missing most when we moved to the desert. So, when I saw this bonsai at (the old) Palapas Nursery the first month we lived here, I had to have it.  I'm pleased that we've kept him happy all these years.  It's kept in a shady location on the north side of the house.  He's on his third pot!

Cheers!
