Look what I found

[bfjr]

In the middle of Torrance Calif is the Madrona Marsh land. I reckon about 30 acres. The kid working the visitor center was quite helpful and said there all kinds of wildlife around, like hawks, owls, snakes, egrets, etc. etc.
Of course I was not there at the right time, however were here now so please join me on my inaugural walk through my new found gem.

1st lets give you folks a look at the surroundings. Great isn't it !! :D
