Thanks for the ping. It doesn't take long for burned-out chaparral woodlands to regrow. But the majestic oaks take centuries.

Here's one of my favorite shots from five years ago during a magnificent wildflower bloom at Toro Park. My daughter made the wildflower bouquet while we were hiking.

That’s beautiful.

I am a cement jungle guy, born and bred.
I SOOO wish I could move out of this place. Soon enough, I will.
Used to take my grandmother up to see the poppy fields blooming. It’s like a 2 week window. The best we could do without making it an overnight trip. My wife taught her, at age 87, how to use photoshop to crop and edit her photographs. She passed a few years ago at age 93. Had cancer, doctors gave her 6 months to live. She lived 6 more years. She would chew me out for taking 2 advil, said I only needed one. She refused all pain meds. Then they force fed her morphine tablets and she died the next day. But I digress.

Get me outta here!
