I’m preparing to lead a Welcome Walk at Malibu Creek State Park, so I created this graphic to explain the creek action. It gets a bit confusing as you walk the main trail because at first the water is flowing one way, but then it’s suddenly flowing the other way. They are actually two different creeks!
Good to stretch the legs on a 9 mi / 14.5 km hike.
I’m elder-sitting today, and amusing myself while my MIL naps.
I’m sick with a cold. Instead of going anywhere today—the groceries can wait!—I hunkered down with a box of tissues and played with pencils and paint.
We saw these huge, gorgeous, rich orange-gold mushrooms growing among the roots of a coast live oak. Apparently this species is bioluminescent! And poisonous. Says Wiki: ”while not lethal, consuming this mushroom leads to very severe cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.”
