Cumulus type clouds
I was in the car when I took the
picture that’s why it looks bad.

Carbon Cycle
I found this little buddy in front of my

organism and waste product. I felt
bad for it, but so goes the circle of
life.

Park when I saw a Palm Tree.
The is the Chusan palm from eastern
Asia.

The Great Blue Heron in the LA River.
I went to a party where they lived right next to
the river.
The river starts in the Simi Hills and Santa

nearly 48 miles (77 km) southeast to its mouth
in Long Beach.

Mountain View Park

10. Urbanization
Took this pic on flower st.

clouds.
