Green and Lovely

I found this lovely little thing on a walk last March. It just begged to be photographed, so I obliged. I really enjoy all the little treasures I discover when taking a walk - the lavender that is so plentiful in Los Angeles, all the different architectural styles of the homes... I even get a kick out of the random things people leave on the street that they don't want any more - I've never seen so many ugly couches in my life! I am in my fourth (and hopefully final) week on crutches - an ongoing pain in my heel was finally diagnosed as a torn muscle. Staying off my foot is giving it a chance to heal, and I'm so looking forward to all the walks, hikes, and cute shoes in my future! Enjoy the pics.
