This is my first post here at Creatively Fit. Thank you, Diane in Australia for telling me about this. I am excited about joining you all in the days ahead, walking and being creative at the same time. What a great combination!
It's a bit warmer today here in Southern California, and there is sunshine after our unusually rainy week last week! So this morning about 10:00 I drove up to Signal Hill for a gallivant and to see what I could see.
It's a bit warmer today here in Southern California, and there is sunshine after our unusually rainy week last week! So this morning about 10:00 I drove up to Signal Hill for a gallivant and to see what I could see.
During my 3-mile walk around (and around, and around again!) the hill, camera in hand and big floppy sunhat on my head, I saw some lovely cheerful sights. This little flower was out of reach over my head so I simply pointed the camera up, zoomed in a bit, and viola!
A mere two inches across, dozens of these pretty pale mauve faces adorn a large, loosely flowing bush.
Where the road ends, and the downhill slope begins...
...I saw winter-bare trees creating dramatic shadows around a gentle, green-velvet lined curve...
At the top of the hill, fruit-laden palm trees bask the sun.
Elsewhere I came across this strange plant life that looks like it should be under the sea....
...and distant views, somewhat hazy, of the snow-topped San Bernardino Mountains half-hidden by clouds and beautifully framed by this wonderfully betasseled and beaded tree.It is good to be outside and commune with beauty like this.

Your pictures are gorgeous! I love the first flower photo!!
And the plant overlooking the hillside is very interesting. Definitely other worldly!

Sara,
Lovely photos and beautifully written post. I felt like I was on the journey with you. Welcome to Creatively Fit! It's so much fun when new people join us. We get a sense of the entire world around us!
Can't wait to see many more of your walks.

Another lovely walk and a long one. The plants are unusual. I like the betassled tree.
I like this walk too :)
