Checking out Hummingbird Trail in Simi Valley.
Continuing my exploration these hills, i found another trailhead. This time in Simi Valley and despite a understated entrance, we found some exciting features. Including this wash under the 118! Respite from the sun and incredible acoustics. There was a cave that none of the trails we found seemed to head towards. We met another hiker who gave us an idea of how to find it. Next time.
Rocky Peak trail on a beautiful day!
The weather was amazing and my work was canceled so i went on an adventure! i’ve been to Stony Point and Vasquez Rocks dozens of times, but i’d never been on this trail. From clouds to the flowers, it was a glorious hike.
Enjoy these images. I shot so many panoramas, it was hard selecting these.
No Kings 3! This time downtown!
My first No Kings protest downtown and it was exciting. Live performance, crazy characters, great signs and lots of camaraderie. i gave out stickers and made friends as we idled and marched. Unlike the first and second march, this time i traveled to downtown los angeles to participate in a much larger gathering. i couldn’t get pictures of all the incredible costumes. Everyone was so friendly and curious. i lost count of how many times i bumped into or stepped on the foot of a fellow protestor.
Spooky fun at Disneyland!
I returned to Disneyland with some first timers. It hasn’t been very long, but there have been a lot of changes. Fast Pass is now a paid upgrade. Storybook rides now feature video projection. Splash Mountain is now Bayou Country despite keeping the big splash. The Haunted Mansion is in Nightmare before Christmas mode with even more fun changes. The original Club 33 door is now stroller parking! The Electric Light Parade has returned completely refreshed and a new Fantasyland Castle projection show provided exciting new entertainment.
No Kings 2.0 with an even bigger turnout!

Better weather, funnier signs, and even more engaged neighbors! At the second No Kings rally, everyone was delightful and excited about positive change in the USA.
Time Lapse of my night blooming cereus!
