It was a bit warm to be out painting today (88°F), but I got lost in this view. 

One of my favorite spots to rest along the Hermosa Trail head.

Early morning light, Catalina looked exceptionally close today.

Inspired by a walk with my mom while in Ojai last month.  Those fond memories still looming in my mind, take me back to that place and time... relaxed, spontaneous, adventurers we were... seeking out the hidden treasures there.
