Pretty in Pink

Translucent leaves

We took this photo because we can help noticing how translucent the leaves on this tree looks with the sun shining through.

We are not sure if it was the leaves themselves that are translucent in nature, or because of the sun. You be the judge.

Twilight Tree

Trees & Skies

More trees and sky.

Happy 1-month!

What a view for the owner of this house! To be able to look out that window and see these bright-red blooming tree!!!

Since it's exactly one month since we started this Daily Photo with a beautiful blooming tree, we decided to put another beautiful blooming tree for the 1-month anniversary...

We hope you have enjoyed viewing our beloved City of Angels. We hope to continue to be here for more anniversaries and milestones. And thank you for all your encouragements, comments and ideas

Evergreens

Even when we are having a drought, we can still get such greeneries! Why? We export water from elsewhere!

During the beginning of the last century (the 20th century, that is), the forefathers of our City of Angels built an aqueduct to transport water some 200 miles from Central California to LA.

Full moon over LA: The sequel

As it is common in Hollywood, it is only fitting to have have sequels in LA Daily Photo, too!

Eagle Rock

The City of Eagle Rock, CA was named because of this rock.

Hanging Branch

It's an L.A. thang!

Yep, it's a L.A. thang..... decorative antennas on cars!

The Aliens are Invading!!

This is the front entrance of Fry's Electronics in Burbank, CA. Fry's Electronics is like a Walmart-version of an electronic store. You can find all sorts of electronics and electronics-related stuffs here. Each Fry's store has a different theme. But the one in Burbank is the most eye-catching.

Moon over L.A.

Moon just before dusk.

Weeping Willow?

We want to say this is a weeping willow tree, but we are not sure. Anyone has any ideas?

Executive Apartments

This colorful executive apartment complex is located in Woodland Hills, CA

Taroland

This is a root vegetable, not unlike potato.

The Wall

Cactus Pears

Cactus, a popular backyard/frontyard ornamental plant, can be colorful when "flowering" these pear-like flowers. These cactus pears are edible.

U.F.O.s

Unlighted Funky Objects

Garden Steps

These winding, descending steps lead to one of our neighbors' beautiful backyard and garden.

Sugar Cane

Sugar cane plants, even though a tropical plant, will thrive in South California because of the mild weather. All we had to do is add lots and lots of water. For more info on sugar cane, check out wikipedia.com.

The contradiction to the story is LA has gotten less than 3" of rain since July, 2006 (hence the Hollywood fire a couple of Fridays ago).

Artsy Home

This is part of a new artsy housing development in Pasadena, CA. By the way, this particular 3-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms home is available for a mere $2,100,000!

Fruit Tree?

It's a gigantic fruiting weed!!

"California" Daisies?

Not sure about the flowers, but they look like daisies. Can anyone confirm it?

BTW, notice the ubiquitous palm tree.

Huge Jugs!!

These huge purple vases frame each of the front doors of a row of brand-new townhouses in Alhambra, CA. Each of these 129 townhouses (which by the way have all been sold) goes for around $500,000.

Leaning Tree

Hollywood Fire

Last Friday, two Illinois teenagers accidentally set fire to the Hollywood hills that destroyed 150 acres of brushes and threatened the famed Hollywood sign and a corporate housing complex (see news report).
More Reuter Photos here

This photo of the hill where the fire started was taken this afternoon. The apartment complex where the teens stayed (and started the fire) is about 100 feet to the right of the photo. We were standing across the street from the hill where Warner Bros. studio is located. Behind this hill is the Hollywood sign. Two blocks to the right of the photo is Universal Studios.

And, no, we did not specifically go there to take this photo. We were at our client's office next door this afternoon and couldn't resist taking this photo for LA's DP!
