lilies and phacelia
I don’t know how long the Humboldt lilies are going to last in Santa Ynez Canyon, but for now they’re still going strong, and we’re loving them.
santa ynez canyon
I spent three hours forest-bathing and nature-journalling in Santa Ynez Canyon this morning. Riparian and Oak Woodlands are my happy place. So many Humboldt Lilies!
topanga
Four mile hike with V at Topanga — the wildflowers are changing week by week.
dead horse trail
It was pretty windy here at the coast, but I found a sheltered spot in Topanga State Park to sketch-hike (sketchike?). Even though I once lived in Topanga, I’d never explored Dead Horse Trail, part of the Backbone Trail system. I’m glad I checked it out; it’s short but very pretty.
santa ynez canyon
A cool shady canyon with a pretty waterfall at the end, in Topanga State Park. Right now the creeks are flowing and the poison oak is plentiful. Suitably attired, it’s a lovely place to hike on a warm day.
