Sunrise Orange


Yesterday morning, after getting over being a little shocked about the forecasted  high temperature of 90+(!) for the next couple of days, I poked my head outside to get a feel for the real conditions as I often do. I immediately exclaimed "Oh my GOD!!", grabbed my camera and keys and ran outside without shoes. Why?

...because minutes later, it was all gone.

10 on 10, November 2013

A 10 on 10! I actually skipped some months and shot some others and just forgot to post them for a while. As life goes... And as is often said, the best camera is the one you have with you. In this instance, the camera closest at hand with batteries and space was  my kodak Easyshare sport C123. Not the best camera, but I originally purchased it for Burning Man. It had 2 attractive features: it ran on some easy to purchase AA batteries and it was waterproof. I still find it useful from time to time since it is one of my smallest cameras as well. It fails at close up photos, and this set fully displays such shortcomings! Oh well!

Hour intervals are approximate.....and I threw in an extra bonus photo to make up for posting this on the 11th.




...not the only "Thor" billboard that's been modified in the area....






Los Angeles has seasons!









a rat and a bat! Sadly only one rat :(


managing to capture most of my afternoon's activities in one photo: summer in a jar, tortilla soup and oatmeal



steelcut oats, carrot cake style with: carrots, apples, raisins, pineapple, spices, a touch of blackstrap mollasses and eventually, coconut and coconut oil = delicious


tortilla soup! Using my favorite soup technique of starting out with a base of veggies and seasonings, blending it in the Vitamix until it's nice and smooth and then adding in other stuff.
