That One Looks Like a Possum With a Hat

I've been really excited the past several days because we have clouds in LA! We seldom have clouds here, and when we do, they are never the nice fluffy ones that are around now. (I know, I know. Such a pity that the weather is always sunny there, Ryan.) The truth of the matter is it's really not as nice as it sounds. While it is rarely cloudy, there is normally a smoggy film over the horizon (imagine looking at the world through a pair of dingy glasses). So it has been a real treat to have a sky that is actually, you know, BLUE, and these big white, puffy clouds.

So I've been running around taking pictures as much as I can. The first set is from Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Park which overlooks the city. I think its real purpose is to hide the neighboring colony of oil well pumps and accompanying machinery. In any case, it's a really nice park with an exceptional view of downtown and the Hollywood hills.


The second set is from the first outing of the South Bay Photographers group. Justin, Peter, JR, and I went to the Redondo Beach Pier to eat Hot Dogs On a Stick (most of you will know these as corndogs), play with the pelicans, and shoot some photos.


And if you get tired of mine and want to look at some good ones, just pop over to some of Justin's. He got skillz.

    Well, nice of you to finally explain where you were taking the pictures. Us country folks who live in the clouds and cold and not sun and heat don't know where you are. And (another one) since you are running around all excited must be why you are not calling your Mother. Now all your friends can see where you get your literary gifts. I do enjoy the pictures tho, no words. Probably why you don't tell me where you are. Love you
