A late night, first post in Worldmappin without reading any instructions...'cuz I'm tired!

The pourous rocks in my local mountains can result in some interesting formations. Take this one, for instance. We felt it resembled a bullnosed head, similar to a toad or basset hound. Legs are hunched

I took a hike to the highest point in the SAnta Monica Mountains, Sandstone Peak. It was such a clear day that visibility in any direction was 80 miles or more. Seeing the Channel Islands to the south

I love these poppy-shaped flowers found in the Southern California chaparral regions. This photo was taken as a heat wave steeled in over the region. It was about 70 degrees at 8am, but the sun's reflection

I'm at my best on a trail under mottled skies. Some days it's exploring trails and whatever nature presents along the way. Others, it's caring for those trails with a crew. Either way, it's perfect.
