Yellow

Love the color, the subjects, the composition. The building is in China town. Brick structures are all over the east coast, bricks of every color, but more rare here. The bird on the top chased the bird on the bottom away, but it didn't go far.

Music, Sun and GGP

Three things that are so lovely together. With the weather having broke, people are out and about in the city. Love this time of year! I've missed being able to hop on my bike and be anywhere soon. This is a shot taken on the wiggle. I got myself a new bike so I rode it to the beach and back with my trusty point and shoot by my side.

Dedicated to Fresh Prince

Love, love street art. I always pay attention to the writing the walls, the buses, the ground I walk on, and any other sweet space someone has found to be the perfect place for their message, their paint, their craft, their bridge to whatever sense of sanity they manage to find through the medium. Fresh Prince caught my eye, mostly because I adore the show and thought it a funny moniker for an artist to use. Took a photo of one sighting, then to my surprise kept seeing them all over the city. If you notice something, even just one time, your eyes are now wide open. While not on purpose, not intentionally/consciously looking, you are now seeing whether you like it or not. This is a funfresh example of the phenomenon, but wow, how many more out there, the not-so-fresh examples, have done something to you forever.

Cali Poppies

My good friend recently got herself a fancy camera, so we took a trip to the conservatory for some experimentation and lessons. What a gorgeous place! Simple and small, but so much to appreciate and experience. She got the hang of things quickly and really took some great shots. This shot is taken with my point and shoot outside of the conservatory. I like the lines in it. I like the depth of field, poppies in the foreground, background, and people even further back, blurry, looking like poppies themselves.
