Steemit Photo Challenge - Spring in Los Angeles and Malibu

Spring has arrived to Los Angeles! Finally, after an abundance of rain and cold, windy days, the weather got a little warmer and our neighborhood turned into a "botanical garden". The neighborhood flora is on fire and it is beautiful! Here are a few photos that will give everyone an idea of what I'm talking about:

Magnolias

A gorgeous Magnolia tree!

Same magnolia tree, cropped and filtered

A "river" of flowers

... and while I'm at it, not immediate neighbouhood, but a hike I did with my friends a few weeks ago in Malibu state park:

It looked and felt almost like the lush valleys of Hawaii

*... and it kept giving more and more beautiful scenes...

... I think I'll have to go out there again, soon, while the lushness still lasts!

Enjoy!
