Outdoor Excursions in So. Cal.

The following images originated on a hike and exploration within the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve which is located in the San Fernando Valley.  They belie the fact that this [water reclamation] site is adjacent to one of the all-time busiest freeway inter-changes (the junction of The 101 and The 405) in the U.S.:









Given that it really hasn't rained in So. Cal. since last March, most of the parks and open spaces are dry, dusty, trashed, and lacking greenery, so these images are a bit deceptive in portraying a more lush landscape. Nonetheless, there were a lot of waterfowl and this spot is known as a migration rest area around this time of year. Finally, my energetic little grand-daughter, Camila A.B., has been developing into quite the fellow adventurer as she's now able to keep up and go exploring with me on frequent outdoor excursions.
