Out of L.A. for a walk up to a waterfall. Beyond Pasadena and into the hills. Dry as chips as ever but a mountain stream to walk besides and quite few people coming and going. It's a miracle to me that there's enough water to make a stream, there being so little rain in the area for months. It reminded me of a summer walk up the Painswick stream in in Gloucestershire with the odd person from downtown streetwise L.A. dropping by in all the appropriate L.A. gear.

On the way passed this boxing supplies shop. Not something that would feature much in the UK. Punch bags on the pavement.

These guys got to the waterfall for their photo opportunity before us. Looking a little sinister all in black with a very large dog. We might run into them again in the Boxing Supplies Store.
