Photos, Old and New

Leave a reply

Photos from the last however-long-since-my-last-photo-post.

: The very best people-watching.

: It’s a thumb thumbdrive. I am way too amused by this!

: I really have no explanation for this photo other than boredom.

: Breakfast.

: I like clouds.

: I like this fortune, even if it’s not really a “fortune.” If you’re not finding the good things you’re not looking in the right places. Change where you’re looking if you have to. The change is up to you.

I had to pull out an old hard drive for something recently, and I took a look at some old photos that were saved on it.

I had a lovely Fourth of July!

: Chips and Salsa. (Yes, I know they are cats. Those are their names.)

Photo post: LA Zoo

Leave a reply

I can’t remember the last time I was at a zoo, I mean we are probably talking sometime way back in my childhood… What ever the number of years, it’s been a long, long time. Today a wonderful friend took me to the LA Zoo. My only request was elephants and elephants were seen so right there alone the trip was a success. We only did certain sections of the zoo, it was hot today and even with frequent stops I can only walk so much before my body says “no way,” but everything we saw was just delightful!

: Meerkat!

: That looks uncomfortable

: I fell in love with baby giraffe Sofie

: We’re almost the Charlie’s Angels of giraffes here…

: She’s just so cute I can’t stand it!

: That face!

: I make that face when I’m thinking too.

: Baby Tadjik Markhor

: Black Bear just wanted to eat, can you blame him?

: Of course I had to take a picture with the elephant. Of course I did.

: This little guy kinda stole my heart too.

The LA Zoo website has all kinds of info, if you want to know more about baby Sofie, the Zoo’s Elephants, or just find out what the heck a Tajik Markhor is.

Photos from the past few weeks

Once again, I missed my “Weekly photo post.” I think it’s time to make it easy on myself and give up on any kind of schedule.

: Someone brought me sunflowers! 🙂

Friends and I took a trip to some of the lookouts up off Mulholland on Sunday. It was a hazy day, but still beautiful.

: Those clouds, gorgeous!

: Even from miles away my eye finds good ‘ole stage 16.

: The freeway weaves its way through the city

: Downtown LA in the distance

: The Hollywood Bowl

: The Capitol Records building in Hollywood, downtown off in the distance

: I’ve never seen the Bowl from this angle before

: Downtown, freeway, Bowl… Pretty much LA in a single photo!

: Hollywood sign

: Hollywood sign

One of my favorite places in Los Angeles is the The Griffith Observatory. So many amazing things to look at, both inside and out.

My week in photos…

Leave a reply

I missed doing one of these posts last week, so this one should actually be “my last 2 weeks in photos” but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it. 😉

: Beautiful Burbank sky…

: You can see me if you know where to look.

: Took out the trash, was unexpectedly greeted with this sight. Stunning.

: Really cool lamp.

: I just liked all the lines…

: Snuck a pic while waiting for the show to start.

Photo post: Travel Town, again…

Yes I have posted photos from Travel Town before, no you’re not crazy. (Well, you might be, but no you’re not imagining seeing pictures from Travel Town before.) I was in the area today and wanted to play around with some settings on my camera that I usually ignore.

: In related news, I am (still) 12.

: It looks like a face to me. A friendly train face.

: Just an all around gorgeous day!

Is there anything better on a gorgeous southern California day than jumping in the car with a bunch of friends, a camera, and no set time you have to be home? I can’t think of much else I’d rather be doing…

Travel Town is a museum in Griffith Park with all kinds of different train cars. Kids are able to climb into some of them and look around. Others are just for show. It is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles.

: I am 12.

Photo post: Vasquez Rocks, Fillmore, The Olivas Adobe

You’ve probably seen the Vasquez Rocks in too many movies and TV shows to name, but they are most famous (in my head) as the place where Kirk fought the Gorn.
