I grew up in Woodland Hills and still visit my childhood parks whenever I return to Los Angeles.

We found a patch of woodland strawberries hidden beneath the ferns near the creek.

While hiking through the mossy glen, she delighted in finding a tiny woodland strawberry ripening in the shade.

A yellow woodland anemone peeked out from under the leaf litter, bringing a dash of spring to the forest floor.

In the spring, the carpet of yellow woodland anemones lit up the forest floor, attracting photographers and hikers alike.

In spring, the woodland blue phlox carpets the forest floor with delicate lavender petals.

At dusk, the hikers paused to admire the delicate scent rising from the clustered woodland blue phloxes that lined the trail.
