One of the things I love about coming home to Los Angeles is appreciating the contributions my mami and papi make to the natural aesthetics of Los Angeles. Their garden is deeply inspirational as it embodies a variety of colors, shapes, and textures. It emanates visual, tactile, and olfactory senses that instills happiness and delight for me and my sister, especially after enduring the long snowy Winter in Ithaca. There are also a few photos of the beautiful scenery in Manhattan Beach, our papi’s Ford, and our cute dog.
