Lake Malibu Trail

 What a difference a couple of weeks make.  This time of year you can't wait because as soon as it turns hot the flowers die and the weeds turn brown.  I can see the difference between the few weeks that passed since we were at Paramount Ranch, which is just up the road from Lake Malibu Trail.  There were still flowers and greenery but you can see it changing in to summer flora.

There are still remnants of the Woolsey Fire.  This old tree makes a great backdrop for colorful flowers.

We hopped over to Peter Strauss Ranch area after our Lake Malibu Hike.  It's so beautiful no matter where you are in this area of the Santa Monica Mountains.
