I am glad I did not trip along the hiking trails. The clouds were just so beautiful early in the morning.

And looking up one more time!

On MLK Day, I went to the Griffith Park Observatory to catch the sunset. But I was prepared for a little hike, and I got my hiking shoes on.

Faintly in the background is the famous sign HOLLYWOOD
but James Dean bust is so visible!
The Observatory itself is not open on Mondays, so I wandered on the grounds and then I remember that I there was a hiking trail I did during Spring. I followed the sign.
And saw this place, I may have missed this before.

After the hike at Solstice Canyon on Saturday morning, I took another route heading home. I drove through Pacific Coast Highway rather than driving the hills and canyons. Then I realized that I have not visited this place for a long time.
A welcome mat of freshly watered flowers greeted me, as I walk around the lake.
Soothing green and yellows found an inner peace in me.

Rise and shine! What a great way to start of the day!
I arrived 45 minutes early for our hike at Solstice Canyon. The sunrise was beautiful and the sound of the little waves lapping was inviting.
I walked to the top on a looped road to see the Pacific Coast.
We started at 8:45 with the skies and clouds above us playing their usual harmony. A short 2.1 mile round trip, it was an easy hike, with little or no elevation at all.
Along the way, we saw some wildflowers, and I am really looking forward to Spring when they are in great abundance.
Bermuda Buttercup
Bush sunflower, slender sunflower and the last maybe a rock rose (not sure)
Cliff Aster
We hear some babbling sounds from Solstice Creek, and it was music to my ear.
What lies ahead is another story!
Enjoy!
