New hiking review on my website!

Madrona Marsh Preserve
★★★★★

One of my favorite places to walk in the South Bay: the last remnant of seasonal marshes that once covered the western part of the LA basin.

Just some #mosstodon from a recent hike in the Palos Verdes Peninsula hills near Los Angeles. There’s a nature preserve along one of the canyons with a stream running through it that actually has water after this winter’s repeated storms, unlike when I went there last summer (or was it fall?) And it was completely dry.

I went on a hike today, up in the coastal hills near Los Angeles. I took a trail along a (dry) streambed up through a canyon, which is variously known as George F. Canyon or Georgeff Canyon. No one knows who George (or Georgeff) was – they just found it on an old map when they dedicated the nature preserve.

There was SO. MUCH. POISON OAK. You really do not want to stray much from the path here!

Oh good, Pixelfed.social is back!

Oh good, Pixelfed.social is back! And the post I made 5 minutes before it went down actually did go through!

I’m over on #pixelfed as @KelsonV@pixelfed.social where I mostly post suburban #nature photos these days, but occasional other stuff.

And I have an *ahem* @AddHawk account where I, well, add hawks.

The downtime did get me thinking about picking up that minimalist #indieweb gallery project I’ve been thinking about since…um…January
