This self-portrait overlooks Sycamore Canyon, a favorite local hiking spot. The small desert flowers and shapes of the hills in the distance feel like a familiar friend, and a bag lays at her typically converse-clad feet, phone, and all other distractions put aside for a moment of appreciation of a California sunset.
