A Day Out in Nature

Doug and I enjoyed seeing Castaic Lake. We have never taken the time on our drives back and forth to Los Angeles to see this place. Doug drove up on the hill above the lake and the view was spectacular.

We have seen Pyramid Lake from the freeway. We decided to visit the museum near it. It is a wonderful free museum that is to help us appreciate the water that we have and how it gets to us. We also learned a lot about conserving water.

Only boats can get down by Pyramid Lake but we were able to enjoy a closer look at it from the museum.

The grapevine at this time of the year is so beautiful. We enjoyed the Lupins and California Poppy's. If any of you have not read the book "Miss Rumphius" you are missing a wonderful book. Whenever I see Lupins I am reminded of her.
This is one readers thoughts about the book: "This is one of those rare picture books that is so beautiful and so wise that you ought to read it even if you don't have children. But if you have a child to share it with, do so immediately, and consider yourself privileged."
This book would be great for a Family Home Evening on making the world a better place.
