In #storm shocked #LosAngeles, lots of us went out to survey damage and yack about the power outage (since last night in Woodland Hills).Huge branches of #trees fell on driveways and blocked streets. One big old beautiful tree lost her life- crews were chopping her up in pieces and hauling her away, like a dead body.
Unless you're a duck, please avoid going out on the streets of #LosAngeles. Flash flood warnings til 10 pm! (photo taken on a sunny dry day in the San Fernando Valley). #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography #birdsofmastodon

Williams, written by Andrea Loney (illustrated by Keith Mallett). The manuscript was workshopped in a class I taught a few years ago. 2. At checkout they gave me a limited edition #P22 library card. #kidlit #ChildrensBooks #architecture #libraries #education
