Butterflies at the Bug Fair  

Monday, May 18, 2009

These butterflies will not be flying away anytime soon. Instead, they were available for purchase at the 23rd annual Bug Fair at the Natural History Museum. Just think how lovely these beauties would've been in-flight.

The First McDonalds  

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

I ordered a #5: A Big and Tasty (with no meat and no mayo) at the very first McDonalds in the whole wide world. Yes, the cashier looked at me funny, as usual.

Banking, shoes, dry cleaning, insurance, beauty supply and lots of food options. This is the epitome of Los Angeles.

Arlington West in Santa Monica  

Part of my Mother's Day was spent honoring fallen solidiers from the Iraq War. The original sentiment of Mother's Day was born out of the horrors of the Civil War, in the hopes that more mothers wouldn't have to bear the grief of losing a son or sons to war. I hope more mothers band together to protest the current atrocities of war, the nightmarish violence that awaits our soldiers.

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Dragons in the bricked crosswalks would only make sense in Chinatown. I wonder if specifically stepping on the dragons brings good luck.

Silver Lake Reservoir at Twilight  

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

The Pacific Ocean may be a short drive away, but when I get the desire to walk along the water, I head to the Silver Lake Reservoir. It's especially beautiful and relaxing on gorgeous evenings when the moon is rising.

The Bag Lady  

Saturday, May 2, 2009

Our local bag lady scavenges the trash for whatever recyclables or food she can find. Parks on the weekend are the home of cookouts, birthday parties and lots of kids eating and drinking.

She did not go home empty-handed today.
