Today I started my walk on the north end of Colusa Ave., and walked it to it's end at Hopkins, then looped around onto Monterey Ave. to Merced St. and back to Colusa. It was a beautiful loop, and the walking was pleasant as a soft morning mist fell. Starting out on Colusa, I immediately noticed a beautiful and fragrant magnolia in full bloom. Overall, I was struck by the beautiful tree -lined avenue and the rocky outcroppings shaping the landscape.
