In the middle of Torrance Calif is the Madrona Marsh land. I reckon about 30 acres. The kid working the visitor center was quite helpful and said there all kinds of wildlife around, like hawks, owls, snakes, egrets, etc. etc.
Of course I was not there at the right time, however were here now so please join me on my inaugural walk through my new found gem.

1st lets give you folks a look at the surroundings. Great isn't it !! :D

    Excellent Ben clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif You and Kirwin should get hired by Panasonic. The shots you guys produce is the best advertisement they can get for their cameras.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Looking good Ben.

    It's great to find a place like this near by. You can go back over and over
    and find something new every time.

    Hi K
    Yeah I'm stoked thumb.gif
    you could pass this place and never notice what's inside, it really looks like just an empty field from the main highway.
