Info on the Madrona Marsh Preserve and Nature Center

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Yesterday, I went on a photo walk with Paul's Photo at the Nature Center. We had been scheduled to walk into the Marsh, but it was very foggy and no flowers were blooming.

There were plenty of flowers at the Nature Center! My thread from yesterday is full of them.

But today, I want to post some info about the Marsh itself. The City of Torrance is in charge of keeping the Marsh safe for all to enjoy.

Here's the link:

It's an extensive description of the Marsh: photos, groups that work there, hours they're open, and much more.

Here's a few photos that I took, several years ago, when I went by myself into the Marsh:







I expect to get much better photos the next time I visit!

3. Cute little cottontail!

Posed just right for you. You made me smile, as always, Peggy. Thanks!

4. Thanks so much, my dear Easterncedar!

I get the photo as I find it--especially when it's likely to move away rather suddenly.

I felt lucky to have caught this one!

And you made me smile too . . .

5. More great photos - and a back story as well!

Sorry I didn’t get the chance to comment on your previous Marsh photos, Peggy. They were so beautiful and uplifting.

I fear that with Trumpism taking over this country we will see fewer and fewer nature preserves like this.

And, I love the bunny!

6. Thanks very much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Please don't feel as though you need to apologize for not saying anything in a thread of mine!

I know full well that there are days when I don't have time and I feel as though I've neglected my friend. Leaving a rec tells me you were there and liked what you saw. That is important.

I hope that we can stop that monster from doing that sort of damage to our fragile wilderness spaces. We MUST.

I love the bunny too!

9. You're too kind, Peggy

7. When my broken hip gets better

we have a park here in Panama City, Panama, which contains the only rainforest inside a world capitol. It’s 532 acres and has toucans, macaws, monkeys, and orchids.
I tried going a while back, but it turns out two legs are a must, but one day!!!
And there will be photos.
Sí!!!

8. I heartily concur with your conclusions, my dear Tom Dyer!

Bones heal eventually and our lives resume.

Your park sounds amazing! I look forward to seeing your photos. Si!

10. Nice photos.

I drove by there a few years ago to check it out but they were closed. I guess I have to try again.

Here's the link for my original thread, in case you missed it:

The Marsh typically opens at 10 a.m. daily (I think). Not sure about Sundays.

Hope you can get there. Even the grounds around the Nature Center, which is across the street, are impressive.
