los angeles


The good husband and I went to Los Angeles to visit friends.  Like most people, we wait too long between trips. By the time we're headed somewhere we're fried and running on empty.  We had a long leisurely week to refuel, sleep, eat good food, be with people we love, check out a new city, see a ton of art and be happy when we got home to the slow moving Memphis.  I'm rejuvenated and inspired.

The first few days were sunny and gorgeous.  Our friend loaned us her white convertible Cabriolet to tool around town in. Then the rain came, the top went up and we headed inside to museums.  We didn't even get to any galleries because it took so much time to check out the museums.  The Getty, Los Angeles County Museum, MOCA, The Museum of Jurassic Technology - there was so much to see. Oh,and not to mention the earth and sky with The Huntington Gardens and The Griffith Observatory. 

Both of these pictures are from a bike ride from Venice Beach to the Santa Monica Pier.  The Light would be full on bright and then fog would roll in really fast making everything glazed over and eerie.
