EARLY SUMMER

Gathering nature’s bounty
Whenever we’re exploring and admiring LA neighborhoods, we always come across a variety of trees, plants and flowers. We recently experienced a lightning filled thunderstorm and the day(s) after were an ideal time to forage for any downed leaves, bark, pods, etc. Those are the times I feel like a botanist and at other times I feel like a possessed hobbyist filling my collecting bag with anything that catches my eye ( #driedflowerart ). I’m drawn to all kinds of textures, shapes and colors, but my favorites are leaves that are maturing but with a #hintofyouth still in them. I sheepishly admit that I fancy myself to be still just like that .

What wonders await us …
Years ago, I approached my first excursion walking the jackabee (Jack Russell/Beagle mix) with a chore-like mentality. Now, each day is a chance to explore the hills and streets in LA and appreciate our weird, wacky and wonderful world. Some days it’s only noticing mundane items, other days it’s discovering things that make us smile and things that confound and confuse us. #exploringlosangeles #laneighborhoods #mydayinLA

On the walk…
Another day, another gate.
