I found a desiccated bird in the bird’s nest fern—too far gone for easy identification.

Spent a lovely morning with V & S at Point Dume, picking up both trash and treasures, looking for whales (none seen) and enjoying the warm winter day.

Hiked with V & H to Triunfo Lookout. I was last there right after the Woolsey Fire and the landscape was bleak. Now we see blackened trunks among the green—and the vernal pond is full 🙂

I picked up a lot of litter around the trail head, including a new-ish pair of very muddy Nike Airs (unfortunately not my size). I guess someone didn’t want to get back in their car with muddy shoes so decided to just toss them in the bushes 🤷🏻‍♀️ I will wash and donate them.

Serrano Valley is located in Point Mugu State Park, at the westernmost end of the Santa Monica Mountains. While I’ve hiked nearby Sycamore Canyon many times, this was my first time venturing into the valley.

Another lovely Urban Sketching outing. This time we were entertained by music performers and martial artists as we sketched in the warm winter sunshine.

Putting my learnings from Liz Steel’s Buildings course to good use today. Fun Urban Sketching event at the beautiful historic Point Fermin lighthouse in San Pedro.
