Yesterday afternoon I noticed that one of the four bushes in the front yard had died. How did I not notice? I snapped a closeup photo of the leaves for reference at Moon Valley Nursery.

The nice man identified the bush quickly, I paid for the bush including a crew to come to my home and remove the dead bush and plant the new, much smaller bush. My back would never survive removing a dead bush!

I think those bushes have been there a very long time but this bush finally succumbed to the summer heat. I snapped this photo on Centennial Avenue where it crosses the 95 freeway. What a view, aye!
