Arriving At Stan's House We Find.....

........a beautiful cottage 3 miles from the Rose Bowl Stadium............

..........and in the front yard.....a Bird of Paradise plant.........

...........full of blooms.............

..............and Bless to greet us while Stan is out on a "shoot" (more about that later). Bless provides us with wonderful company, great ideas for nature sight seeing and a well labeled local map.
