Rhonert Parquoia

"I remember like it was yesterday.", our humble narrator begins " That fateful afternoon the ducks descended upon us."


Mum and I were taking luncheon along the arboretum.


Their billed scouts tentatively approached.


I launched into my famous Rock-em-Sock-em routine, but, alas, the feathered fiends had us surrounded.


When you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Bee Baby and the Angry Cacti

Nestled at the foot of Ripley's Church of One Tree, Sequoias mother whispers the legend of the magic bee baby. Only in the frostyest of Januarys does the flying insect/infant emerge to protect the town of Sant Rosa from a malevolent plant menace.



Magically levitating, the sacred Bee Baby explores the worlds longest brach. From this wistful vista, the problem becomes clear: Vengeful cacti are poking tourists and destroying the city's weekend income.



Sequoia swoops in to a patch of mystic cacti. Bee Baby flashes hand signals to the sage succulent and *poof* the plants vicious spines are repealed.



Following her arduous ordeal, Bee Baby relaxes knowing the world is safe once again.



The grateful citizens gather round and shout "Hooray for Bee Baby!"

Sequoia vs the Farm

Sequoia and the guinea fowl finally understand one another.



"Two legs good, four legs bad" snickers a smarmy Sequoia



"I've got your two legs RIGHT HERE" replies a spunky goat.

Sequoia braves the Backyard

Sequoia, with fake fur thinking cap securely fashioned while resting on a leaf print pillow in the pseudo-wilds of the backyard, ponders the nature of reality and the reality of nature.




Sequoia, thinking cap abandoned, gazes with wonder at the delicate viens of a nearby leaf while enveloped in her mother's shadow.




Confused and intimidated by the big wide world around her, Sequoia dons her faithful mittens and nibbles one for comfort.



At peace with her ambiguous lifestyle between wild and tame, real and manufatured, Sequoia contentedly waves farewell.
