Hooray for May gray, that time of year in California with thick clouds and low temperatures in the mornings and sometimes early afternoon. While I love the feel of sunlight on my skin, as a runner and photographer this kind of weather is a gift!

Still Exploring and Climbing

It’s been a year since I posted about finding my first secret stairs in Pasadena. Since then I’ve discovered and shared more secrets stairs with J.

Architecture Field Trip - Highland Park & Garvanza
