A squirrel's eye view of wildflowers (California Poppy and Purple Owl's Clover) in the Santa Monica Mountains. The photograph was taken by Joe Doherty in March, 2016.
Spring Forward!
A typical March day in the Santa Monica Mountains. #photography #wildflowers #spring #santamonicamountains #mrca
Recent hike. Can’t really see the Pacific in this pic but it’s there. Big rains coming next week and we’re already above average in rainfall this season. I’ll take it. #california #santamonicamountains
First ultra in the books on Dec. 6. The Ray Miller 50k was a beautiful course. More difficult than I was expecting but amazing first race. Nearly 32 miles and 6k feet of elevation gain.

Our magical farm above the clouds.
Sure it takes a half hour to get to a market but it’s worth it!

Endless SoCal summer 🌅😎 camped out of phone range for the weekend. It was messy (blaming dogs and wet sand), but isn’t that always true of life? ❤️🔥
I also made a few videos, stay tuned 🌊🏄🏻♂️🦈

When the news says it’s overcast in LA compared to our weather.
I spend a lot of time watching clouds, birds, flowers and trees.

I have jury duty in #SantaMonica this week.
My commute takes me down #TunaCanyon, you can still see the burned trees from #palisadesfire but it’s greening up. I do miss the BIG trees 🌳

Watch your step —
there are snakes on the trails 🐍
and snakes in life. 👀
Not all of them hiss.

🐻🧸🧸🧸 When the bear chooses you!
100 yrs of no bears in our mountains until recently.
This week we had a mamma and 3 cubs, we knew she was around in the fall, she survived the fire and had cubs!
We have so many other predators our animals are always secured but 😲

Am down in Southern California now taking daily hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains area. Was here about the same time last year - so green in the Spring. Here's one from the Backbone Trail near Thousand Oaks last year.

The #californianativeplant society #santamonicamountains chapter took a hike through one of CA's most toxic Superfund sites, the Santa Susana Field Lab, against our advice. #canativeplants #socalnativeplants #hiking #socalwildlife #lahikes #lahiking #losangeles #toxicsantasusana
A curve of clouds is scattered aross a blue sky. The curve of a mountain made green from recent rain arches low in front of it. In the distance is a peek of a yellow-golden sunset being filtered through the clouds.
Your daily moment of peace...
