Sites Around My City



Ramona Ave. One of the few
streets that has not been widened
since we moved here in 1976.
The P.E. Trail crosses here.

My oh my, I went on a 2 and 1/2 hour discovery walk today. And I have some fun and different pictures for you. I decided to walk down to the local library. Yes, I said 'down'. When you live in the foothills all the North/South streets go up or down. Usually I try to walk East/West so it is level walking but I wanted to go to the library. I like checking out what the Friends of the Library might have for sale. I found a book for reading through the Bible in a year for only $.25 I couldn't pass that up. It is set up like a bible study so I really like the layout of it. I also walked along the Pacific Electric Trail (P.E. Trail) I think it is ironic that the shortened name is PE, as in Physical Education. Anyways, it is the old Pacific Electric Railroad line that passed through our city and once it was no longer used all the neighboring cities decided to turn it into a trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, horseback riders, joggers, and pets walkers. You can walk from one city to the next. I don't know how far you can go because I don't know how much of it is done. Last time my husband and I road our bikes we went to East Ave. and back home which was 9 miles round trip but it now goes beyond East Ave. 
 

Looking West along the P. E.
Trail which is the direction
I am heading.

When I first looked at
this pic I thought it
was an elephant!
Couldn't they make
the dog a little thinner?


Looking West along the Trail




  
Even the ants were busy
scurring around in the heat.
I caught this little guy playing
with his friend.

Here is his friend.

This is the enterance to the
Sycamore Apartments. They
have this beautiful waterfalls.

One of our City Libraries.
I love the sign.


Rock stacking. The lady whose yard these are in told me what to look up on the internet to learn more about them. The Inuit Indians in Canada & Alaska did this so they wouldn't lose their way when hunting.
Here is another beautiful
city street.


And of course every city has it trash!



For a weed theese sure are
pretty flowers.
