I took the kids for a hike in Bronson Canyon. Southern California can be weird with weather... The summers are often cold and gloomy, but we always have some strange weeks in January and February that have winter light, but hot summer weather. It was 80degrees this day and we breathed in deep and heard the silence of the canyons underneath the famous "HOLLYWOOD" sign.
This tree in particular caught my attention. The patterning on its trunk blew my mind.
Oooh... These are the trees that line my street (or at least, it looks like the same bark as what's in our front yard). They're called Chinese Elm or Lacebark Elm - people ask us what kind they are all the time. (Cade loves peeling the bark off and trying to eat it.)
