[69/365] Metro Station at Wilshire & Normandie, Los Angeles, California, USA
My office building just looks like a typical high rise on the way east towards Downtown. Ever since I started working there, I always saw escalators and stairs descending far underground. Last year, I finally got the chance to take the escalators down to take the Metro for the first time. In LA, I have […]
[68/365] Sunset at the Beach, Laguna Beach, California, USA
The weather in LA has been beautiful! Sunny days just naturally make me happier. This must mean its time to spend days outdoors and at the beach! That’s why I decided to post a beach picture today – this is from Laguna Beach as the sun was setting. Have a great day everyone!
[67/365] Encore Hotel Room, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Encore is a lovely hotel! It could be one of my favorites in Vegas (along with the Wynn and theVenetian). The view from our room was of the Las Vegas strip that never sleeps. Great view! We stayed there our last night in Vegas. Wish I didn’t have an early morning flight so that I […]
[66/365] Roses & Planes, Dress, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
I was drawn towards the print on the fabric of this dress (and of course I bought the dress!). At first glance, its odd to see planes mixed with roses, but I think it works! I mean, don’t you think those just logically go together?!
[65/365] The Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, California, USA
A famous LA landmark that one day hosted celebrities and several US Presidents, The Alexandria Hotel was by a busy part of Spring Street at Downtown LA Art Walk. It was built in 1906 by John Parkinson, responsible for other famous LA landmarks like the Los Angeles City Hall and Union Station. The Hotel is […]
[64/365] Spring Street, Downtown LA Art Walk, Los Angeles, California, USA
The second Thursday of every month, the masses converge upon the streets of Downtown LA for Art Walk. Spring Street and surrounding streets are full of galleries open to the public. Musicians play in the streets and the whole environment is full of liveliness not always seen on a Thursday night downtown. This was my […]
[63/365] London Eye & Big Ben, London, United Kingdom
Last summer, I was in London for the first time since my study abroad back in 2005. It was great revisiting and seeing London as a woman in the working world (and with a better camera!). I think it made me realize that while I’m older, I’m still the same person that loves exploring the […]
[62/365] Snow Covered Trees, Lake Tahoe, California, USA, +photo diary photo suggestions request!
Photo ideas haven’t come easily as of late. I’m having a hard time thinking of photos to post/photograph so it seems as if I’ve only been posting every other day. I know…it’s a daily photo blog, so I really should be consistent. You know, in April, it will be one year since I started this […]
[61/365] "Take Chances", Live Good Book, Jamba Juice, Santa Cruz, California, USA
Catching up on missing photo diary posts! Sorry for not being daily! I came upon this book of inspirational and empowering quotes in a Jamba Juice. The book is called “Live Good”. Liked this quote a lot! The small quote on the left says, “If you risk nothing, then you risk everything”.
[60/365] Clock Tower, Downtown, Santa Cruz, California, USA
Downtown Santa Cruz is easily recognized by the clock tower at the beginning of the street. The clouds were gray, signaling rainy hours to come, but luckily it stayed dry while we were there!
