Pictures of Walking in Santa Monica Mountains SDG

This session I'm part of a Plato experiment. I'm in the 7 week SDG studying the botany and geology of the Santa Monica Mountains led by Lee Ann Kennedy and Sol Scope. This has been a fantastic adventure. Spring has been gracious with flowers and dry weather for walking. I've posted pictures of each of our 6 walks showing the plants, flowers, geology and terrain we've seen along the way.

There is also a BestPics album from all our walks. Copy and paste this link into your internet browser to see the best pictures.

For those who could not join us to see the wonderful Spring in the Santa Monica Mountains, take a look. I'd be interested in your comments and reactions. Also, if you have other ideas for a SDG that gets Plato members out of their chairs and into new experiences outside our classrooms, please comment so we can begin a discussion and perhaps launch another exciting SDG.

Here are links to each of our walks.
