not that it was ever much of a winter this year, but we did get a great snow day right after a light rain at the end of february. i’m standing on top of the snowy mountain you usually see in the distance above pasadena. beyond the hazy fog is san bernardino and los angeles.

the first acacia blooms have appeared in elysian park. i am so in love with these bright, yellow pom-pons. there are a couple of early blooming varieties, but in a few weeks they will be all over the park.

i just noticed these beauties down the street. i’ve been doing a lot more walking errands lately, which is really rewarding when the smell of sunshine and spring blossoms are in the air.
