    https://www.descansogardens.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/daphneswardrobe.pdf

    Descanso Gardens presents Daphne’s Wardrobe—Metamorphosis into Nature, an interdisciplinary exhibition of artworks by women who explore body transformations into nature.

    Daphne’s Wardrobe draws on mythologic and folklore narratives to examine themes of metamorphosis, revealing humanity’s deep connection to the natural world.

    Curated by Carole Ann Klonarides, the exhibition features wearable garments, photography, sculpture, painting, and works on paper.

    The “Daphne” of the title is the mythic nymph who was changed through metamorphosis into a laurel tree to escape Apollo’s advances. Her soft skin turned into bark, her hair grew into foliage, her arms into branches, and her feet into roots, making her earthbound.

    Daphne’s Wardrobe will include the work of internationally-known artists Valerie Hammond, Adelle Lutz, Elana Herzog, Melissa Meier, Wangechi Mutu, Vibeke Sorensen, Alison Saar, Rina Banerjee, Phyllis Green, iris yirei hu, and Vera Lehndorff/Holger Trülzsch, who challenge us to rethink our deep connection to nature while also referencing the complex cultural histories—both constructive and destructive—that have shaped this relationship.

    Daphne’s Wardrobe—Metamorphosis into Nature is open at the Sturt Haaga Gallery and Boddy House from March 1–June 1, 2025, 10am–4pm daily. Entry to the Gallery and Boddy House is included in the price of admission or membership.

    • PS - Hike: Lost Horse Loop - Joshua Tree Nat'l Park

      • Tue, April 22, 2025
      • 7:00 AM - 2:30 PM (PDT)
      • Joshua Tree National Park

      Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was once the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 

      Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold.  After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.”  After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing.  Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon.  In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine.  He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch.  After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

    • PS - Hike: Lost Horse Loop Trail - Joshua Tree Park

      • Wed, May 07, 2025
      • 8:00 AM - 2:30 PM (PDT)
      • Joshua Tree National Park

      Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


      Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold.  After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.”  After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing.  Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon.  In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine.  He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch.  After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

You’ll see everything from majestic raptors to colorful songbirds, along with mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

      The area also has a rich history, long before settlers arrived, it was home to Native American tribes like the Sinagua, Yavapai, and Apache. In the late 1800s, Anglo settlers began farming the land and supporting the soldiers at Camp Verde and miners in nearby Jerome.

      OCLB Annual Yosemite Trip!


      Heaven On Earth!


      Orange County/Long Beach

      goes to 

      Yosemite National Park


      Curry Village Canvas Tents

      May 9-12, 2025

      Need we say more?

       Yes we will! 

      Spring in Yosemite can't be beat!

      We will be heading to Yosemite at the BEST time to visit this illustrious National Park!  The weather will be amazing with the waterfalls at their most dynamic! Our lodging for the 3-night outing will be in Camp Curry, in unheated canvas tents.

      We have sold out for 3 years in a row (one year out of four was cancelled due to the major snow/landslide that closed Curry Village for a few months).

      Do NOT hesitate to book as soon as possible as we expect this event to be SOLD OUT again!

      If you would like to visit Yosemite in it's winter grandeur and the famous Horsetail Fire Fall - check out San Diego's Yosemite trip in February. 

      Link:  https://www.greatoutdoors.org/event-5969602




      Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country and we in southern California are very fortunate to have it so close. If you have never seen it then this Great Outdoors trip is a good opportunity for you to be introduced to this special place.

      If you have been there one or more times, then you’ll understand why many have made a Yosemite visit an annual event.  The grandeur and majesty of the park are so enriching that Yosemite can be experienced and enjoyed again and again.  The natural beauty of the park has inspired many for the last 150 years, but perhaps none more effusive than John Muir, who said of Yosemite, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” Please join us in this temple of the great outdoors.


      The location of this trip will be Yosemite Valley.  Our accommodations are canvas tents in Camp Curry, a rustic but charming village near the east end of the valley.

      Arrival should be about 4:00 pm on Friday afternoon.

      For both Saturday and Sunday, there will be optional hikes each day to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy.  Or simply visit the galleries, stores, bike ride, museums and/or stroll in the valley floor!

       On Monday morning we must check out of the cabins by 11:00 am. 

      More details will be announced as we finalize registration.

      Canvas Tents:

      We have secured four canvas tents for our group.  

      Each tent has 3 single beds and a double.  We can max out at 5 people per tent.  We are hoping to get a couple or friends (with benefits or without benefits) to share the double bed.  This way we can max out each tent with 5 people so that we can get as many as possible to experience Yosemite for this excursion.

      If you want to be in the same tent with another member please note that on the registration.

      If you prefer sharing a double cot with someone please note that on the registration and who the person is so we match you with the correct person.

      If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.





      Driving & Directions:

      We will review carpooling options once registration is finalized both to save the environment and save on fuel costs.  We usually stop in Fresno for lunch prior to heading into Yosemite. (Chipotle stop in the below photo).


      What else?

      Cooking facilities/campfire rings are not available in Curry Village. However, there are several dining options near our cabins.  


      Such as Pizza & Beer, Cafeteria (with Vegan options!) and of course burgers & fries too. A general store is also open for purchasing food items and other material goods. You may bring snack food and drinks, but all food and scented items must be stored in the bear-proof storage locker in front of the cabin. This includes all food, food related items, toiletries, sundries and ice chests. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to anything they think will lead them to human food. Remember not to store these items in your vehicle or  canvas tent . It is recommended to use sealed plastic containers for storing your food inside the bear boxes. This makes it easier to keep your food organized, and away from campground critters.

      And of course, there is the option of having some fine dining at the Awahnee!


      Showers, sinks and flush toilets are all available to participants.

      Be sure to remember a flashlight or headlamp to find your way around Camp Curry at night. In addition, a sleeping bag (recommended), an extra blanket or a honey bunny may help keep you warm at night.  Other things to bring:

      •Warm outer gear appropriate for snow and/or rain or Shorts and T-shirts for warm days

      •Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

      •Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

      •Sunglasses, sun block (for your face), lip balm 

      •Sturdy hiking shoes 


      Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the high 40s/low 50s (night time) to the low-mid 70s during the day. Conditions may vary between sun, clouds, rain, or snow. Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected!  

      The trip leader will inform you of the weather conditions a couple days before our arrival but you may also want to keep abreast of them by using the Yosemite National Park website. (Click here.)


      Price: 

      $210 for Great Outdoors members for the 4 days/3 nights event.  Come early on Friday to enjoy the park and/or stay late on Monday to enjoy the pack!  We will check into our canvas tents at 4 PM on Friday.

      This is a members only event, thus an annual membership ($25) must be purchased prior to signing up for this event.

      If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.

      Cancellations will be authorized up to 21 days prior to start day of event IF a replacement can be found; a $20 cancellation fee will be charged.

      Trip Leader: Lance Whitmier



      Lance states:  Yosemite mesmerized me the very first time I visited the Park in the 90's.  I always brag about the majestic beauty of Yosemite along with it's grandeur and power.  I claim that Yosemite is indeed "my Heaven on Earth" and I can't wait to share the experience with you!"  For those visiting Yosemite for the first time - be prepared to experience a bit of heaven and the surreal!

      The Gamble House (1908) is an internationally recognized masterpiece of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Built for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company, the house is the most complete and original example of the work of architects Charles and Henry Greene. This Local, State, and National Historic Landmark is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by The Gamble House Conservancy.  People are drawn to the Gamble House for several reasons. For some it’s a bucket list destination because of their love of architecture or the Arts and Crafts movement. For others, the house is a source of renewal and inspiration. And some visit for the first time because the house was featured in the beloved film, Back to the Future.  As the only work of Greene & Greene open to the public, the Gamble House has long served as a gateway to the study of the architects. Those interested in Greene & Greene will find many resources to explore, whether for personal curiosity and inspiration, school projects, or advanced research.

      The Huntington Art Museum features British, European, American, and Asian art spanning more than 500 years and includes more than 45,000 objects. Extraordinary examples of decorative arts and folk art, paintings, prints and drawings, photography, and sculpture are displayed in the Huntington Art Gallery (the original home of Henry E. and Arabella Huntington) and in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art. Both buildings also showcase smaller, temporary exhibitions that focus on masterworks in the collection or place The Huntington’s historic works in conversation with contemporary artistic practice.

      Encompassing about 130 acres, the Huntington Botanical Gardens feature living collections in 16 stunning themed gardens with more than 83,000 living plants, including rare and endangered species, and a laboratory for botanical conservation and research.

      1919 Cafe

      Beat the Heat at 6000 Feet

      TOUR - LUNCH - HIKE - SCENIC DRIVE

      In 1904, the Mount Wilson Observatory was founded  by George Ellery Hale under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. In that year, Hale brought the Snow Solar Telescope from Yerkes Observatory in southern Wisconsin to the sunnier and steadier skies of Mount Wilson to continue his studies of the Sun. With a small cadre of Yerkes scientists and engineers accompanying him, Hale started what would become the world’s foremost astronomical research facility. Hale put such importance on studying the Sun, that it was called the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory for the first decade and a half. In 1919, soon after the largest telescope in the world, the 100-inch, went into service photographing the stars and nebulae, the word “Solar” was dropped. Hubble used the 100-inch to make his great discoveries–that we are just one of many galaxies in an ever expanding Universe. This telescope led directly to our current understanding of our origins, the Big Bang model. 

      Located on the summit of Mount Wilson above Pasadena at an altitude of 5715 feet, Mount Wilson Observatory is visible from much of the Los Angeles area.  We will be admitted to the telescope floor directly beneath the 100-inch Telescope, the 60-inch Telescope dome, and the 150-solar Telescope Tower, unless our solar astronomer is unavailable.  (Note: On rare occasions, one of the telescopes may be closed due to special events or maintenance.) Included, there is also a small Astronomical Museum on the observatory grounds, the CHARA Interferometry Exhibit, and some great hiking.

      Meeting Location/Time:

      6:15 AM at Palm Springs PetSmart/Walmart parking lot MAP.  Departing at 6:30 AM. This is an early one, but its's summertime!   For those meeting at Mt. Wilson please meet in the parking lot at 9:30 AM.

      Bring: 

      • A lunch dish that serves four with serving utensils, and your favorite beverage and a cooler. 
      • Park Pass: If you have one.  Each car will need a pass, or will have to buy a day pass.  To purchase a pass click here,

      The tour starts at 10 AM.  The tour is about 2.5 hours long.  After the tour we'll plan on a potluck picnic lunch.  We will provide paper plates, forks, and napkins.  Please bring your own beverages.  It's high and dry so bring plenty of water as well.  If you don't wish to participate in the picnic lunch there is the Cosmic Cafe (Website click here).  

      Hike: After lunch there is a 1.2 mile loop trail around the facility with terrific views of the Los Angeles basin.  For those who would like to continue the adventure it is possible to drive back to Palm Springs via Wrightwood and the high desert.
