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 [...]

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…

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 [...]

After I missed two Thursday hikes, first Sven was sick and then me, I was finally able to go out for a hike. I went back to Will Rogers Park, and this time there were no bees, so I headed up Inspiration Point trail. I am not sure I actually got to the Inspiration Point [...]

I was hoping for an overcast day, but it turned out clear and really warm. Not too clear, though, as you can see from the pictures. Beautiful hike. I didn’t go all the way, but I took a side trail that goes up three hills, for some extra workout and more pictures. I am really [...]

Today I decided to go to Will Rogers State Historic Park and hike the Inspiration Point Loop, but… as I was taking the picture of the beginning o the trail, beutiful yellow flowers all around, I noticed bees! A lot of bees, right in front of me, on the flowers I was photographing. If I [...]

Last Thursday was my first “Thursday Hike” morning. I am always struggling with excersize. Not that I don’t want to do it… It is just that I get easily bored with treadmills, classes,… I love hiking, and I really don’t know why I did not think of this before. I got a book on tape, [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
