@creationofcare has been a great supporter of the SoCal Steemit community from the very beginning. Her posts never disappoint. You find awesome things she does in her studio or, among other topics, you find her wandering our Southern California hills. She knows the plants growing along the way and she can even tell you who left that heap behind. In this case, it was a bear. If you ever get a chance to go hiking with her - do it!! If not, enjoy how you can hike along without breaking a sweat by reading her posts.

@bxlphabet has come to quite a few of our in-person meetups and it is always fun to see him. This is his entry to a photo challenge and the picture speaks for itself. Hope we all take some good photos together at the next meetup.

Here, we have another black and white photo challenge by @fitinfun - the mother of @bxlphabet. To me, the photos are very similar. Of course, different scenes but both showing the neglect and isolation. Let's watch their posts and see if they will show us some more cheerful scenes as well.

@kunschj is taking us to the ocean. Isn't that one of the beautiful things in California. You can be hiking in the mountains in the morning and hit the surf in the afternoon. We are not sure how this surfer felt after he got out of the water. What do you think?

@denisechips is showing us the bounty you find all around you - even in the city. She advises not to eat everything you see unless you know what it is. Always good to remember when foraging in the city. I am pretty sure that the berries are edible, but I am not seeing the leaves of the tree/bush they come from. they sure are pretty and the fungi pictured is impressive

Thanks so much for the support.
Thank you very much for all of your help and support!
How cool to see us both here. The photos are similar and I did not notice. Both are in National City. I really loved mine even with the 38th St graffiti. I really loved that area of town. Thank you so much for everything and I will look for some cheerful shots :)
Come on SoCal! 🎉👍
