Bear Country
I wasn't quite expecting to actually see a bear despite all the signs in the Angeles Forest warning of them. However, a cute cub managed to climb all the way up the steep embankment and pop its head out between the white flowers along the road.
Must stop and sees for me whenever I am in that neck of the woods are the Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge and the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia.
