Flora, fauna, sky & homes

Today is a mix of photos: I thought the sky with the contrail and moon looked very geometric. The moth was an early morning visitor on my garage door. The view of the Griffith Park Observatory on a gloomy afternoon. A pseudo-villa on the open-house Pasadena Heritage Spring home tour, including dragon lanterns and grapefruit orchard. Enjoy.

Purim

This past weekend was the Jewish holiday of Purim (there was also a "super moon" - see the first picture). It's my most favorite holiday - family, friends, food, charity, and parties :) What could be better?

Light

This week, just some views from my commute: different views of light.

Flora on Clinton St

I walk a lot on Sabbath - yesterday I went for an hour walk in the morning and a two hour walk in the afternoon - but I'm not allowed to take photographs. This afternoon, I went back along Clinton, a nearby street, and took some photos of flowers and plants I had noticed yesterday.

The first photo is of a blooming star jasmine that actually grew up through the stop sign/street sign pole and is tumbling blossoms from the top! The second is of camellias, the third is a creeping fig, the fourth is a tulip tree (a type of magnolia) and the last is a succulent known as "Sticks on Fire" for obvious reasons.

Today feels like spring - we'll see if it lasts awhile.
