As I mentioned in my previous post, Kat and I visited the Palm Springs Art Museum during a recent trip to PS. It was a fabulous find, a really gorgeous art museum. Below is just a sampling of photos taken there.

The wonderful season of Fall is officially (and finally) here! Pumpkin Spice Lattes, scarves & boots, leaves changing colors, and of course, Harvest decorations! Descanso Gardens (located in La Canada Flintridge) is my all time favorite botanical garden, especially during this time of year when pumpkins and haystacks are scattered throughout…perfect place for some Fall-themed […]

A drive along the coast, all the way from Newport Beach to Marina del Rey awhile back, led me to the Korean Friendship Bell. If you haven’t driven the Palos Verdes Peninsula or through the harbor area at Long Beach over to San Pedro, you’ve missed a fascinating area. While the Queen Mary may be […]

Nikon D5100s in tow, the streets of Hollywood beckon often – subject matter for a camera buff is literally without end. If you’re up for some real fun, though, you have to check out Nick Metropolis. As Nick’s website says: “Nick Metropolis has been buying, selling, renting and consigning collectible furniture, or “collectable” as Nick […]

Photo expeditions throughout the Los Angeles area are a blast. Searching out the odd, quirky, and unusual is not too difficult, considering I’ve pegged it “the world in a handbasket”. It’s truly a fascinating place! Recently Kat and I were photographing on the Westside, heading homeward, when I chose a random route through Hollywood towards the 101. Traffic was pretty crazy. Well, when isn’t […]

I recently stumbled upon this glorious gem of a garden, SLG on PCH in CDM. If those acronyms are throwing you for a loop, I’ll translate: Sherman Library and Gardens on Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. As described on their website “The Sherman Library & Gardens is a 2.2 acre horticultural retreat. The Gardens […]

My recent big number birthday was celebrated in style, Pink Martini style, at the Hollywood Bowl, a fantastic venue, by the way. Guest list complete, invitations emailed, planning centered on an all-pink theme. All-pink for two reasons, the first being rather obvious – the name of the Portland, Oregon band playing. In fact, In fact, […]
