  Summer is the New Spring

Walking around the Old Pasadena neighborhood, we found glorious beauty in all the blooms around the homes and pathways.

We are blessed to be living in an area where Spring bloom carries over to the dog days of Summer.

Can you spot your favorite flower? Do you get inspired by a favorite color? Summer in Southern California is definitely the new Spring. Put on your favorite music and start the photo gallery and enjoy a sultry, passionate afternoon stroll in the neighborhood.

Photos were taken around Madison Avenue, Oakland Ave. and El Molino Ave.
