REDLANDS HOUSES

Always thinking of houses I can sketch when I'm out either riding or walking through a neighborhood.  That green one is a favorite.

YESTERDAY A COLD AND WINDY WALK AT LAKE ARROWHEAD

The clouds were moving in while we were there and it was a gorgeous day!  Last night heavy winds blew all night long but luckily we didn't lose power.  Today is chilly and off and on windy but at least we aren't getting snow like other areas of the country.

We have found three different ways to get into the shoreline to walk around the lake.  Lake Arrowhead is a private lake ( a lot of celebrity homes up here in this area) and if you don't own property then the public is restricted from the shoreline.  But rules never stopped us.  We found our way on to the shorelines in three different areas and one part of the trail is just as beautiful as the others. 

To drive around the lake totals about 19 miles.  We have probably been able to walk about over half of the shoreline by getting on at three different places.  We have been walking it now ever since last fall and in the beginning we felt kind of sheepish like what if they ask for Proof of Membership.  By now though, we feel that it belongs to us, at least the sky does!  And people are friendly and just wave and say hello as they pass us so that's good!

Here's some photos from yesterday on the shortest trail we go and more level than the other trails.  There is a lot of up and down hill walking etc..on the other two trails we take.

SPRING SCENES AROUND THE MOUNTAIN THE LAST FEW DAYS

Weather is warmer and we have been getting out for long walks and enjoying spring.  We still don't have a lot of blooming going on, and more is to come but I've enjoyed what we have seen so far.

How is your spring going?  Is it colorful - or filled with snow scenes?

HELLO - ... I SAW THIS BEAUTIFUL TREE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD NEAR WHERE I LIVE

I'm so behind on posting photos I'll never catch up but this one caught my eye today - this beautiful tree with the white fence.  We had gone out for our walk around the lake and then took a drive through a few neighborhoods to see what was blooming.  Mostly in our area its these pink blooming trees so far - and a few white blossoming trees.
