POINTS WESTHere we go again, back to my favorite place in all of Southern California -- the city where no good deed goes unpunished. Glendale.

Winter? To natives, it's spring
Times Staff WriterThe standing joke about Southern California is that it has no seasons. Gardeners know better. We have seasons, just not in the same order as the rest of the country. Here, winter is the sweetest season. Take last Sunday. The skyline was wind-swept, air...Tags: Death, Cricket, Clothing, Accessories, and Shoes, Sage, Science and Technology

Palms in Twilight
Times Staff WriterIn most cities, buildings make the skyline. Paris has a tower, London a clock, New York an island-long roof-scape. Only Los Angeles signed the sky with trees.

It's like a bird, yes — a crane — yet what's so moving is its quality of high-...Tags: University of California, Los Angeles International Airport, Fertilizer, Landforms, Homes

No need to get so prickly
Special to The TimesThe desert, to many, is an ocean of sand, a desolate place whose scant plants do little more than scratch and bite.

Such resilience, such beauty
Special to The TimesFirst came the wildfires, then the questions. Providence aside, why had certain neighborhoods and houses been spared in the firestorms that ravaged Southern California?
