• In alphabetical order, this month I've pictured Gardena, Inglewood, Santa Monica, and West Los Angeles, and I've visited a few other neighborhoods.
• City Paradise / Urban Wilderness Lectionary for March covered Lent 1 through Lent 4.
• two views of a gift sunflower
• a yellow rose and a balloon
• For the Second Sunday in Lent I visited St John's Gardena. Another circular time ranging from summer 2021 to Holy Week 2024 to now? Am I asking or am I saying?
• Golden Poppies have been abloom since late February
• If you use google photos, you know they have some great user collage options, and they also make some for you in configurations you can't access. They captured these golden poppies in one of their best layouts.
• It's too long since I blogged blackberries. Prices have been right and they taste as good as ever.
• Nowruz, the 13-day long Persian New Year, along with some sidewalk art and the façade of 11022 Santa Monica Blvd I've pictured over the years. Lent 3 – Oculi – was another name for this day.
• My first time at the monthly lunch at Mount Olive Santa Monica. I met some great people and loved the spaghetti dinner with desserts! I also got to introduce myself and offer the closing prayer. Win-win!
• At the Santa Monica Interfaith Council's Spring Luncheon I met some lovely and lively new to me people and gained some helpful spiritual insights. We met at the Pico Library in an outbuilding that had glass walls on three sides, and the lunch was full of my favorites.
• Almost eight years ago via the then newly completed Metro Expo line, I visited the Pico Branch Library with A and loved it then, too. So much seems to come back round. (Is that a "full circle?") July 2017 was the month of the (sixth and last) Reformation Roadtrip to San Luis Obispo that I referred to in our early February Five Minute Friday about noise.
• Pico Branch Library sign and trees, and a butterfly mural from further toward the ocean.
• My fave Maple donuts again from the Asian-owned Amigo donut shop. This (obviously) is LA.
• West LA again for Lent 4. Google photos made this collage of my greenery and shrubbery pics.
