This was taken along I-5 northbound towards Simi Valley on our way to check out a specialty store for sky watching instruments. My daughter loves astronomy, and her birthday is coming up. Ssssh….

Translation at the bottom of the post
Ang tema ngayon sa LP ay LIKAS (Human Nature)

Likas sa aking pagkatao na ako ay masaya, nakangiti palagi. Malakas ang tunog ng halakhak. Kaya ang palayaw nila sa akin ay “giggles”

It is inherent in my personally that I am a cheerful person, smiling all the time. I laugh out loud too! That’s why they call me “giggles”.
I made this scrap from the “quick page” scrap page created by my daughter Zee and you can download it for free here. Just fill in the blanks and add your art and creativity.

It was a cool and balmy Sunday in my usual early morning walk at 7:30 a.m. I checked out the cherry blossom trees in the lake. There were a lot of buds and a few sprouts.

We sure did get a lot of rain the past months and I would expect a lot of blooms!

It belongs to the small genus Echinocactus, which together with the related genus Ferocactus, are also known as barrel cacti.

The best known species is Echinocactus grusonii from Mexico, very easy to grow. This is a genus of large barrel-shaped cacti, usually with large spines and small flowers. The generic name derives from the Ancient Greek εχινος echino- “spiny” and cactus.

Literally, I am a Valley Girl, because the City where I reside is part of San Fernando Valley, in Southern California. Today the sky was so blue and clouds were floating up in air, after the rain the day before.

I discovered this wildlife area by accident, adjacent to the Japanese Garden.

The grass is green, I could smell it


The trail around the lake was more than a mile

I checked out the ponds on the other side

But it was all wet, I decided not to proceed

An old John Deere was a surprise find!
