(I apologize that my knowledge of Blogger and HTML is minimal, and I have managed to place images within the borders of other images repeatedly, creating multiple frames. I'm not sure how to get rid of them without starting over, which perhaps I will do later.)
As I have probably already mentioned, one of the reasons I loved working at the Palos Verdes Library District's Peninsula Library, was the fabulous community it was nestled in.
After Don and I drove to his work at Aerospace in El Segundo around 6:00 A.M., I would have at least a few hours, after the drive to Palos Verdes, to explore before my shift.
One of the spots I enjoyed was this area of the peninsula at the far North end of Palos Verdes--part of the section called Palos Verdes Estates, that looks towards Redondo Beach.
On this particularly cloudy August morning (8/15/2017), when I first arrived here at Roessler Point, my welcoming encounter was this placid cat lounging under a shrub with a food and water bowl just kitty-steps away. The community mascot?

| Lovely place, right? Sadly, according to the website, "the Club now has a membership of 640 families, with a waiting list of approximately 211 families. Membership applications may be obtained from the Club." And here's a little excerpt from the PDF about membership---
Member Cost: Initiation fee: $ 8,000 (Resident) $16,000 Resalable $ 9,000 (Non-resident) $18,000 Resalable Member dues: (monthly) $215 (Resident) $235 (Non-resident) Fee: $30 - City residents, non-member day-use $20 City residents under 18 years-old
Pricey! And, it would appear, if you are a non-resident AND a non-member, day use is not an option.
But admiring and photographing is free!
Thanks for visiting!
