In a Los Altos backyard, there is a redwood tree with a black, hollowed out trunk and bright green growths extending up. But this isn’t your average sky-scraping redwood: It’s a 1- to 2-foot-tall bonsai whose trunk has been meticulously carved out and stained to resemble a burn scar. “The way to think about this is it’s sculpture in a living medium,” said Michael Greenstein, president of Kusamura’s Bonsai Club in Palo Alto, about this redwood bonsai he’s created.

At the start of the year, local fire officials received a message notifying them of smoke in Woodside. But the alert didn’t come from a person who had seen a fire. Rather, a sensor powered by artificial intelligence sent it after detecting smoke from a road flare used by law enforcement during a traffic accident on Highway 280. The sensor, also called an N5 sensor, had done its job: to detect a potential wildfire before it became visible to a person or a camera.

Deep pink warrior’s plume, red Toyon berries and white coast silktassels are among the many flowers and berries that bloom on the Peninsula each winter. Though kaleidoscopic displays of wildflowers are a more common sight in spring, California’s rare Mediterranean climate — one of only five in the world — lends itself to colorful blooms other times of the year.

It's been six months since 50 AI wildfire sensors were installed on the Peninsula. I wrote about how the sensors are performing, why local fire departments think they're useful & where they're placed. Thanks for the assignment @angelaswartz @AlmanacNews! https://t.co/90tK6Zq1ZX

Last week, I went on the hunt for winter blooms on the Peninsula. I wrote about where to find them this time of year and how they're impacted by wet and dry weather. Take a look! Written and photographed for @sixfifty_says. https://t.co/Dv7ruYc8cx
