Travel Theme: Symbol

As I searched for photos for this week’s Travel Theme, “Symbol,” I came across this one, where the American flag (a national symbol) is embracing a palm tree (one of Los Angeles’ unofficial symbols). I thought this was, well, symbolic… 🙂IMG_0855

Travel Theme: Short

This collection of short cactuses (or shall I say cacti?) are part of the Desert Garden of the Huntington Botanical Gardens, in San Marino (East LA), California. If you ever come to Southern California, and you like arts and botany, a stop at The Huntington is a must.

A Word A Week Challenge: “Favourite”

It’s not easy picking favorites, be it photos, places, people, food, etc… But I have no problem picking my most favorite views, which I got to enjoy late afternoon this past Sunday, at a quieter than ever Venice beach.
