Pretty Day

LA is really pretty when the air is clear. Notice the Hollywood sign?

The Cat and the Raccoon

I had a close encounter with a large raccoon the other day. Here is a transcript of our conversation:

Cat: aww cute puppy dog, wait a minute, doggies don't have panda eyes, maybe a cute kitty cat, but kitty cats don't have striped tails??? It's a raccoon!
Raccoon: WTF is that? It's a human!
Cat and Racooon in unison: AAAHHHHHH!!!
Cat: running to her car with her arms flailing wildly in the air...

At one point we were face to face staring at each other, actually it was rather cute... Here is a picture of a raccoon, not the one I saw though.

Rawwwrrr....

Whenever I wear these leopard print flats, I feel like I am walking on two paws..rawwrr...hear me roar!

LA at Night

I am embarking upon a new photography project -- LA at Night. Here are a few pictures...

Mormon Church -- No crossing allowed! I really like the composition of this picture. Kind of ironic.

After the concert at McArthur Park -- I called it the mini Hollywood Bowl. A few people still lingered.

Cruising in the Warehouse District -- it's all hustle and bustle during the day but completely quite and deserted at night.

Big Fat Sandwich...

....begging to be eaten... Aaaahhhmm...

Award for Best Fruit Designer goes to....

...God! There is nothing better than a watery watermelon in triple digit temperature. I devoured at least two this weekend! The temp better let down soon -- otherwise I might eat watermelons into extinction.

Clouds over LA...

I've decided to combine the pictures I took of clouds over LA into one collection entitled -- Clouds over LA... yay, this shall be my first photographic exhibit... Gosh, I am officially an artist now!

Lately, I've been quiet fascinated by the clouds over LA. Hmmm, maybe it's the extreme heat in the area, but we've been getting some very puffy looking clouds. Anyhoo, as Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls once said (in a very cutesy little girl voice) -- I like clouds, some are shaped like heart, some are shaped like pony and some are shaped like clouds... Ah, sometimes I wonder if angels are indeed napping inside, floating in all the puffiness...

Okie, since I am an artist now, I better come up with some self important, pretentious description of my pictures...

Existentialist Clouds -- oh the human condition, it's so fleeting so meaningless, blahblahblah...

Pretty clouds over Public Storage - they reminded me of the clouds in European classical paintings...

Going home Clouds ... ahhh, stuck in traffic.

Polygamist Clouds over the Mormon Temple, hehe.

My favorite! Puffy puffy clouds, I just want to pinch their cheeks!
