Winter brought a freeze to the shards of my heart with each piece frozen in time.

National City is divided into three sub-communities based on their regional parks: Kimball, El Toyon and Las Palmas (KTU+A, 2014).

Ramona, California, the simply heart-warming town on the outskirts of San Diego County, should be on the list of sites to see when visiting San Diego.
