Snow highlights skeletal fingers of burned chaparral along the Chumash Trail in eastern Simi Valley. The chaparral was burned in the 2003 Simi Fire. More info and a couple of additional photos can be found in my Coyote Oak Journal entry Chaparral Snow.
Snapshot of deer at Malibu Creek State Park. This group was in about the same location on consecutive weekends. Malibu Creek State Park is about 30 minutes from downtown Los Angeles.
