Liquid Amber

Fallen Liquid Amber Leaf

Front Porch Picture

More Photos from Glendora Christmas Parade

Little Girl Looking at Flowers, Downtown Glendora, California
The dreary weather yesterday morning included a few rain drops but it didn’t put a damper on people’s enthusiasm. The local rock band, Mercy, that played behind the South Hills Hikers group, probably had the biggest fan following of any of the 60+ parade entries as evidenced [...]

Glendora South Hills Home Development

San Gabriel Valley Sunset, Glendora, California
I heard today that “developers” are planning on developing over my favorite exercise hiking trail in the Glendora South Hills with homes and a road.
