I love hiking in CA in fall and winter or I burned 39 calories or I am feelin the burn
Some time ago I started hiking weekly, by myself, in the morning after I dropped Luka off to school. It was convenient because Luka’s school is close to many hikes. But then it became too hot which I really don’t like and I stopped, planning to pick it back up in the fall. But then [...]
Hollywood sign
Finally, after more than 10 years here in LA, we are exploring the sights… We started at the Hollyridge trail for a short hike to a point where you can see the sign from below. It’s about 3 miles round trip. Perfect for a hike with kids. You cannot get to the sign – unless [...]
Scenes from Baldwin Hills on a beautiful Sunday afternoon
At the top of a trail at Baldwin Hills. Then some scenes from the Culver City Park (the two are connected by a little pathway from the road leading to the top of Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook). I cannot believe we’ve never known about these two…
when you live in Venice
And… I have finished the Toss It quilt but just realized that the pics I took earlier today are no good. So it will have to wait. I will wash it and then take a few more pics. I like how it turned out. Decided to donate it for L’s school auction.

good morning from venice beach
A few pictures from Venice Beach and the Canals. I took a walk this morning and this time I had a camera with me. It was nice, but got really warm quickly. I have to wake up earlier… Is that snow in the first picture? It sure looked and felt like it…
Leacock Memorial Trail
Today I picked a trail I did know about except that I saw a sign to the trailhead on Sunset Blvd, close to Bienvenida, which is on our way to school. I could not find it at first, because the road deadends at one of those posh gated communities. But when I did a U-turn [...]
