That’s my World: Malibu Creek State Park

Who cannot be proud of Southern California? We have abundance in beaches, nature wonders, flower fields and most of all the sunny weather, to mention a few. Last Saturday, it was 80°, and it was just perfect.  We went hiking to Malibu Creek.  The birds and butterflies were so illusive that day.

See those dried vegetation?  That’s because we have less rainfall this year.

Across from the creek, is the site where the famous M*A*S*H  TV series was filmed. The show premiered in 1972 and ended in 1983.

There were park rangers patrolling the area.  But look what I found? Although trash and recycled bins were everywhere, people are just so irresponsible.

Weekend Snapshot: Lake Shrine

Located in the Pacific Palisades, about half a mile inland from the Pacific Coast Highway, Lake Shrine is a tranquil oasis where you can stroll and meditate.

The boat house and an old Dutch Windmill chapel are just some of the beauty on this 10 acre property, which used to be a movie set.

The real name for Lake Shrine is Self Realization Fellowship.  On this property, there is a koi pond, swans, ducks, turtles and a lot of flowers.  It is a quite place and even  if you read a book, nobody would bother you.

Founded by an eastern yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Lake Shrine opened to the public in August, 1950.
