Tribute to Kobe Bryant

1/28/2020

Not gonna lie...I’m very conflicted by this tribute to the late Kobe Bean Bryant. His death hit hard in my household. I have two sons who play basketball now and a husband who played in college. We’ve been talking about Kobe’s work ethic and winning attitude with the kids. Love that someone was thoughtful and hung “24” on our hoop at Main Beach. I’m concerned the balloons will come loose and fly into out precious ocean. Mylar balloons are not biodegradable and are so bad for our marine life. Hoping the city grabs them before they get loose. #ripmamba #gonetoosoon #mainbeachbasketballcourts #tributetokobe @lagunabeachgov @cityoflagunabeach

Personal Zip Line

1/24/2020

I only trespassed a little when I peeked into a yard and saw a zip line!!! Going in further, I see a play structure as good or better than city parks. This yard also had a trampoline, basketball court and a killer garden. Does anyone with small children know about this property on Sandpiper Drive? Other highlights of my walk up Nyes Place include: .
Woody mailbox
.
Living wall of succulents decorating the front of a house
.
Surfboard mailbox
.

Walking at Sunset

1/22/2020

Walked at sunset tonight. Highlights include:
.
Beach volleyball guy!
.
Wild bunnies everywhere.
.
Trojan Fan Parking placard - I’m pretty sure we’re not allowed to bolt personal signs on city signs???
.
Tree swing. When my kids were 4, 3, and 1, it was super hard to buckle them in three car seats so I would tell the kids we were going to “The Park!” I would stroller them to this swing (tire swing back then) and they would play for an hour and get tired. .

Poplar entrance to hiking trail.
.
Provincial style cottage highlighted in the 1987 book called “The Cottages and Castles of Laguna”. .

Streets walked:
.
Poplar St.
