It’s always special to take advantage of a walk along the water’s edge at the beach. This day did not disappoint and was especially appreciated given the dismal deep freeze my friends in the Midwest and East coast are stuck with. This is the Venice Pier, originally constructed in 1905, but a severe winter storm…
The Venice Canals…Venice, California
As we round out the last few days of February, those of us on the West Coast send our friends on the East Coast a sampling of why we enjoy these winter days. Now to be fair, to my friends on that side of the map; when it comes to fall, you have us beat…
My Life Through A Lens
I’m finding an additional voice through photography on this journey in the Blog World. So many people write blogs today, you name it, from Politics and Economics to Mommies and Medicine. I don’t seem to land in those categories, it appears based on my photos that I have landed somewhere else with my new friend,…
The Grammy Museum
One of the benefits of living in a big city is the entertainment possibilities. Yesterday was one of those days, when despite the traffic, I joined some friends in downtown Los Angeles, known by some as DTLA. Not WeHo, West Hollywood, or SoHo, in New York or You Ho, oh never mind. This day was…

Or, did you see a dandelion and decide that was your perfect opportunity.Here’s what I learned about the dandelion. For many people, it’s just a visual appeal that stops you in your tracks. That’s what happened…
Nina Simone…Feeling Good
Do you remember the movie from 1993, “Point of No Return” staring Bridget Fonda? It was thriller about a young violent, unstable drug addict found guilty of murdering a police officer and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Instead, her death is faked and an elaborate plan hatches when a secret government agent informs her…
Running On Empty
You know the commercial, What’s in Your Wallet?” Like many brands, that want your attention, they have attracted notable stars; Alec Baldwin, Samuel L. Jackson and now Jennifer Garner. It hasn’t made me personally sign up for a card, but I do notice the clever way they entice you into considering the product they’re promoting….
