springtime smile!

Springtime is here! This big grin and jumping for joy is exactly how I feel about springtime. I found this image on La Brea Ave in West Los Angeles.

this drink is for you!

Across the nation temperatures are higher than normal. Some places are positively scorching hot! So this image of refreshing sodas and cold drinks from the farmers market is dedicated to you! Cheers!

photo hunter - free

Some of the best things in life are free! Or paid for in advance by blood, sweat, and tears! Photo hunter is a weekly meme hosted by tnchick.

parking in the city

This sign is in the parking lot of the store I showed you on 19Jun. I could not stop laughing! There was no money box or lot attendant to collect the fee. So basically you could park on the street for free or search high and low for someone to give 2 dollars a minute!! What could be funnier??

good luck

I came across this sign and gong during a recent night-time photo trek through LA's Chinatown district. For some reason I am now itching to strike this gong!!

ABC Wednesday M is for miniature

This miniature version of the famous Hollywood sign can be found at Sunset Ranch. Coincidentally, the real Hollywood sign and the surrounding land is under threat of development. Savehollywoodland.org is raising funds to keep the land for public use. See other Abc Wednesday participants here.

photo hunter - sweet

Awwww! All we need now are marshmallows and a campfire! See other photo hunters here.

ABC Wednesday K is for ohhhhhhhh K!

I knew this sign was perfect for ABC Wednesday the moment I saw it! I've been waiting to post this image like a child waiting for Christmas Day! See other participants here.

ABC Wednesday J is for Jogging

Just another beautiful day in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. A jogger passes by with his dog; life is jolly good. Click here for other ABC Wednesday participants.

dream angel

On election day 2008 I found myself drawn to the energy and excitement of LA's Crenshaw district. I came across this sign outside a small clothing store called Gbaby Artwear. On that day the boundaries of possibility expanded. An impossible dream came true with the election of America's first African-American president.
