A parking lot with canopies and chairs set up for Sunday morning church service. There is a labyrinth painted on the ground in the foreground.
I made it to the labyrinth at Olympic and Flower, but church was in session and I didn’t want to bother them by walking it.

First stop, the Biddy Mason Park. Tucked behind The Bradbury Building between Broadway and Spring.

I've travelled the world over on google street view.
Yes, but only a few. I think four.

My latest cat square is Ba’a Ba’a. He moved from Canada to Oman with his family. Turkish Airlines deemed him too fat to fly. He had to go on a diet. He was not happy. I gifted the square to his humans. #TheCatJoyProject

If you would like to explore Mr. Cornflake's neighborhood here's my walking map: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...
a dilute orange tabby cat standing on the stairs of a house. He blends in with the stairs that are almost the same color as him. In the corner behind him is a small decorative snowman holding a sign that says, Welcome.
Time to start thinking about November's Cat Square. It will commemorate Mr. Cornflake. He lived in the Rustic Canyon neighborhood of L.A. He was a great cat. #TheCatJoyProject
