I have been so much happier since I moved here three months ago. Now I get my daily nature-fix as I walk or bike to work. In the morning I hear the roosters crowing and see rabbits on the trails. In the afternoon, I see birds, lizards, and squirrels, and the occasional horse-and-rider. I love Altadena’s blend of natural mountain setting, farm-like animal-keeping, and suburban neighborhood housing.
