This is one of the Arts and Crafts Style buildings ar Asilomar,
where Yuki Teikei Haiku Society members have spent so many fruitful Haiku Retreats since 1984.
Julia Morgan was the architect of many of these buildings; I have read that
when she was designing a family home, she would go and sit in the stairs inside to be sure
that the sun came into the stairwell the way she wanted it to--
so that it would be bright and cheerful, as well as well-lit,.
This house is nestled among Monterey Pines, which grow here.
stopping to watch
the evening pines...
geese flying north
