photo hunter - school

Recently I happened to be at Loyola Marymount University in the Westchester area of Los Angeles. The school sits atop a bluff in the Del Rey hills. What a peaceful spot to read, relax, or simply watch the world go by. (In between classes of course!) Photo Hunter is a weekly meme, see other participants here.

photo hunter - anniversary

Many travelers may not be aware that there is a 9-11 memorial at LAX. Amidst the kinetic light installation (lighted pylons), you'll find the names of the passengers and crew members inscribed on the base of the flag pole. One day I discovered someone had left these flowers. Perhaps a birthday or anniversary? I paused then to reflect as I did today.

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.

photo hunter - open

I could not resist snapping this image of an open pot of gumbo ya ya at LA's Farmers Market. Yet, what is gumbo ya ya? Sometimes the photographer in me is so visual I forget to be verbal and ask questions!

photo hunter - six

Goat meat, cow skin, kenkey, fish, shitoo, and phone cards!? An interesting mix of six! Gotta love LA! ...And just what IS shitoo anyway???

photo hunter - vertical

Street-lamps are almost always vertical, so this scene really caught my eye! Click here to see other photo hunter participants.

photo hunter - sweet

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

photo hunter - foreign

Gobo, aka burdock root, is something I have never seen before! While exploring Little India, I discovered Gobo in an Asian grocery store.

photo hunter - cuddly

Recently at the airport a man complained of chest pains and asked for help. He was taken to the hospital where he later passed away. No one thought to use this machine or knew how. So the next time you see one, cuddle on up to it! Get familiar, you just might save a life!

photo hunter - broken

Yes, it's a stretch....but who broke the freeway? Click here for more photo hunters!

photo hunter- spotted

The red spots of color really caught my eye. The spots appear to be Chinese-style lanterns hanging in a Mexican-style gazebo! Yet another reason to love Los Angeles.
