It’s always a treat having visitors! Sometime last year, my mom and brother visited me in LA and I was a tour guide to the City of Angels! It was fun. It’s amazing how much I have learned about LA since moving here almost 8 years ago (wow, that’s a long time!). About one-third of […]
Before heading to the parking lot at the Grove, I waited just before the entrance and increased my shutter speed to capture the movement of people moving in and out of the area. The sky was a lovely dark blue color!
Today I had brunch at La Dijonaise in Culver City and the paintings throughout the restaurant were so nice! They were scenes from all over with colorful, vibrant colors. This photo reminds me of a painting of a field of flowers blowing in the wind there, right behind our table. Hope everyone had a lovely […]
Upon entering the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA Downtown, you get a sticker. This is where the stickers go afterwards!

About a year ago this time, I took a trip to Oregon and we drove to the coast to see the beautiful Oregon coastline. Driving into the Ecola State Park, we came upon this bench on a grassy area overlooking the water. It was really windy, but seeing the coastline was well worth it!

Congratulations to Myley and Lien for finishing the LA Marathon with great times! We made these “medals” to give to them upon completion of the 26.2 miles. This year’s course was called “Stadium to the Sea” because it started at Dodger Stadium and ended up at Santa Monica Pier. Yay!
I wore this around my neck for the Great Urban Race as a good luck charm AND the compass was actually useful! I love my new compass – there’s just something about maps and directions that fascinates me! I’m going to put the compass on my keys so I’ll always know what direction I’m going […]
