Instigator ~~
This little rascal kept provoking Kaya, the dog, to the point of almost driving her mad. I didn’t help by quietly shooting from a distance so as not to disturb the scene…

Riding El Camino Real~~
Today’s post is about the trip back home on a very overcast day, and the photos were taken from the car. Coming home from Santa Barbara this afternoon we drove through part of California’s historic El Camino Real (the Royal Road). This refers to the 600-mile (966-kilometer) California Mission Trail, connecting the former Alta California’s 21 missions, stretching from Mission San Diego de Alcalá in San Diego in the south to Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma in the north.The Camino Real today includes portions of U.S. Route 101, California State Route 1, California State Route 82 in the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego County Route S11. A nice reminder that you are in the Camino Real is that in its entire extent you’ll see distinctive bells, hung on supports in the form of a shepherd’s crook, also described as “a Franciscan walking stick.” As you can see, I’m a real sucker for these things… 🙂

In Santa Barbara ~~
Spending the weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara, the American Riviera. I love this place. We had a long day and tonight I had problems with slow internet connection at our hotel so I’m posting my 365 project entry for May 2nd a bit late. Here are a few shots of downtown Santa Barbara. Hope to have more luck with connections tomorrow’s post…

A Day in Hollywood~~
I went to Paramount Pictures Studios today, where the Paris Photo Los Angeles is taking place. This international art fair for photography and moving image is an annual event in Paris, at the Grand Palais, and also here in LA. Lots of beautiful stuff. Here is a taste of the event: location, people, exhibits.
