Camphor Tree (Laurel Family). LA Arboretum, Arcadia, California, USA. April, 2025. #laarboretum #camphortree #laureltree #leaves #nature #naturephotography #photography #amateurphotography #omsystem #om1 #mzuiko300mmf4

Good morning from #Pasadena. It’s going to be cool today with a high of only 15-18°c (59-64°F).

Here are a couple flocks of #parrots totaling about 100 in my neighbor’s #CamphorTree, enjoying themselves and sharing information at the end of a long day.

All is going well with the weather and fire though more winds supposed to hit us tomorrow. #EatonFire 81% contained. Still burning but smoke mostly in the very early morning. Otherwise air acceptable for LA.

Wishing everyone a great week ahead!

There's a constant buzz in the valley.
Gardeners working don't cover the background of #Cars, #Planes or even the faint breeze.
The #CamphorTree plays a piti-pat with leaves and berries landing on the walk.
