At Ray's Restaurant at the LA County Museum of Art, the tables have little drawers. Inside them you'll find your napkin, fork and knife. Loved it!

The color pink. It’s a happy color. Some love it, some hate it. I think I love it…

Nothing like 12 inches of snow to bring these beautiful wild creatures to one’s doorsteps. I guess they smelled food. Some people hate deer because they destroy gardens and carry disease, but I love, love, love them! Something to do with Bambi?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreshadow

Los Angeles is known for beautiful, sunny weather, and that’s indeed what we get here most of the time. But when moving from district to district in this huge metropolis, one must be ready for changes in temperature within just a few miles, and for other unexpected changes…

The day I shot these, we had spent time in the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills areas, where the weather was sunny and pleasant. Driving back to Santa Monica, as we moved closer to the ocean, we ran into increasingly low fog that foreshadowed the creepiest-looking night one could imagine.
