Beginning of September Walk With Me 09/02/2019

It’s Labor Day and what better time for the first Walk With Me in September? These pictures are still from my neighborhood, just a bit of a different route than I generally take.

Clouds on the horizon means humid today, ugh
Just Approaching a house on the way to one of the two “main drags” in the city
Purple and white flowers in front of said house
More pretty bush flowers (flowering bushes?)
One of the two main drags in the city I live in! (it IS Labor Day, so not much traffic)
More of the main drag (further down on either side are stores you can’t see from this part! This is all residential
This tree has black leaves, not sure what kind he is that has black leaves, a Halloween tree? LOL
Close up of the leaves, they aren’t dead, they are in good shape but you can see they are very dark leaves
View from a side street all the way to the mountains (Santa Monica Mountains)
This guy’s house is rather stark, all gray with no life around the yard
Trees along the path

Check out that tree in the background. He’s got a flattop. The City put a power pole right through him with lines going through him too, which you can probably see, so this old guy adjusted the way he grew to accommodate the fact his branches couldn’t get through the lines.
This is that same tree’s trunk but I don’t think you can see the power lines that pass through his branches. He’s very old and big so I guess I should be glad they didn’t chop him down.
These yellow flowering bushes are everywhere. They are obviously very tolerant of drought prone Southern California. I see them all over the place, fortunately they are pretty!

An August Walk With Me

There will likely be another one later in August but here’s the one from today.

The Hot Zone! Ha, actually this was from work yesterday. It’s very hot there in August. Usually 90-100 every day. Which is why I call it Woodland Hells (it’s Hills). We move from this location in late September to another location in Woodland Hells.
Before 8, the park is shaded
Purple flowering bush in the park, sometimes there are rabbits hiding in there but I couldn’t find any this morning to take a picture of them. Rascally things.
The trees in the park are full and leafy now but come October, it should be a different story!
The playground is empty now, the families don’t come out this early, but I do because it’s going to be beastly hot later!
Approaching the bridge leading out of the park
The toddler playground, also empty so far in the morning

Walk With Me, End of March

This morning’s walk was shorter than usual as I have some things to get done this morning, but I might go again later. We shall see.

Everything is in full bloom and it smells incredible out. What I am sure none of you know, one of my favorite smells of anything are orange blossoms and they are abundant here at this time of year. It was amazing.

I photoed lots of trees this time. All my pictures are taken with an iPhone.

  • Just some of our trees
More trees

Local Trees, See big ole Christmas Tree! Ha
This is looking down the street of one my favorite neighborhood blocks, I love the houses on it. At the very end is a small one tucked away separate with only two bedrooms. Very cute~
Looks at the size of this guy’s trunk! And they say size doesn’t matter!
The park has exercise equipment. I have even seen people use it. Not me, of course.
More Equipment
More Equipment
More ugly Birds of Paradise
More palm trees and one of my favorite houses (green house)
more trees, I like the little tree next to the big ones
Wow look at that sky! oh and more trees
Some big ones
Tree with Crow
Ghost hanging off the freeway, LOL
