Palos Verdes Hike

Ihor, Rosanna, Les, Les’ good dermatologist friend, and Les’ dog River soaked in nature early Sunday morning in the blustery hillside of Palos Verdes.

It was crisp and clear, with visibility all the way to Catalina Island. The hills were alive with wild flowers, blooming vibrantly after the waves of atmospheric rivers that swept through Southern California.

After the hike, we reconvened at the Nook in Lomita and had the privilege of hearing the remarkable life of Iris Critchell—Olympian, pioneer aviator, and flight instructor to the astronauts.
