The Arroyo Seco is a very special place. Stretching from the San Gabriel Mountains running south through Pasadena, the Arroyo is a landmark and destination of enormous beauty, geography and history.

Parkview Avenue offers the most stunning vistas. As both a neighbor and photographer, walking along Parkview is literally a breathtaking experience—one that inspires reflection about our neighborhood, our city, and the shared challenges of sustaining the wonders of the Arroyo Seco today and for generations to come. I have taken thousands of shots of our Linda Vista neighborhood and the Arroyo Seco. This is a photo journal sampling just some of the magic. Enjoy.

If you’re still reading this you probably met me, know me, maybe are a friend, or mercifully a family member, so let me share one last thought. I am undertaking an effort to conceptualize and realize the creation of an Access Trail in the Arroyo Seco. With more than 20 miles of trails, the Arroyo needs an accessible trail—one for everyone including anyone with a mobility and/or sensory need. If you would like to join this effort or would like more information:
