You know it’s spring when…Trader Joe’s daffodils are $1!
Or, $1.29. Still a fave.
The LA Times had a nice article on wildflowers, and how if you turn your car in the right direction, you, too, might find yourself falling in love, in the canyons, in the deserts, in the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. (Oh, how L. Frank Baum would have loved this.)
Well, I haven’t gone to any of these places yet, though I’d like to. Maybe I’m in the wrong kind of crowds. But I did get up from my chair, walked down the block, and saw a few I liked.

Griffith Park is the 2nd biggest park in the US, and I'm just the person to investigate it! I've lived here for over 25 years.

I'm in the LA Press Club, and you can find some of my articles in the LA Weekly and the Los Feliz Ledger. I'm a cartoonist for Parade Magazine, The New Yorker, LA Times, Slate, & most major media.
