I have enjoyed the book Secret Stairways of Los Angeles, as well as joining in on some of the Sunday walks with the author Charles Fleming. He is writing a new book about walks and hikes in and around the city. So he sent out an email asking for testers. I think he got at least 500 responses. I was one of the lucky ones. He sent me the instructions for Fryman Canyon. I was to follow his directions and report back it there were any major changes or if something wasn’t clear.
I am very familiar with this walk, so I decided that this time I’d take pictures of unusual things, rather than the broad vistas.
Someone stenciled this on the street, I have no idea what it means – if it’s trying to tell people to walk on the sidewalk – there isn’t one. Maybe it is trying to get the walkers to move to the side of the road.
This beautiful wall and gate don’t appear to lead to anything. Maybe there once was a house behind the gate. Maybe this is the back way into a very large estate. Of which there are a few along here.
Love the hair, also, having fun with PicMonkey.
An inverted toadstool.
A good winter in LA, when there is snow on the San Gabriel mountains.
Dew on green green grass. Another sign of a good winter.
This could be in Ireland, not Studio City.
Black and white brings out the real beauty in this tree stump.
Just some artwork. Did the child of this family make this? Was it something the owner just didn’t want to throw away?
I will have some more of my creative posts soon. As yet most of my projects are still secret.

Since moving to Long Beach, I’ve really missed my canyon hikes. There’s not too much of that down here, unfortunately. Fryman was one of my favorites!
