San Fernando Mission Part Dos

San Fernando Mission

Close-up Series 3/3

As much as we love this photo (make sure you click on it to see the 1024pixel version of it), it is nothing compared to Brookville's version (Hope you don't mind us link your Bee photos, Abe) .

As we look closer at the photo while editing it, we noticed the yellow pollen all over the abomen of the bee. Pollination as nature intended!

Close-up Series 2/3

Per request from Jilly, we have uploaded the original 2112x2816 photo for y'all to click on for the 1024-pixel version.

Enjoy!

Close-up Series 1/3

We finally figured out how to use the macro option on our Sony T9!

So bear with us while we play Brookville's wannabe, the great Abe Lincoln with these series of close-ups!

Oh, and make sure to click on the photo for the 1024-pixel version.

It's a Dog's Life

Only in America, a dog gets to be chauffeured in a hybrid car!

We took this photo at a traffic light and noticed the chauffeured dog chillin' out.

Secluded view

A very secluded spot for this owner of L.A. house and yet has a nice view if he/she looks out that window.

31-cent Ice-cream Scoops

May 2nd is Baskin-Robbins' 31-cent Scoop Night in honor of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation from 5pm to 10pm. So we went to the nearest Baskin Robbins around 6:45pm and this is the line we encountered.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (their website is www.firehero.org) remembers America's fallen heroes and assists their families.

Baskin-Robbins will donation $100,000 to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Kudos goes to Baskin-Robbins for supporting such a worthy cause.

*** There! That's our public service announcement for the day! ***

Birds of Paradise

We know a lot of people probably had posted photos of Birds of Paradise, but they are so unique that it's worth another post!

Theme Photo: City Exchange

The roof of this shopping center reminds us of buildings in Asia.

This is taken in Monterey Park where there is such a huge population of Asians, that during the 2000 census, Monterey Park and a bunch of neighboring cities around Monterey Park had Asians as the majority population group.

Monterey Park, by the way, is still part of the Los Angeles metropolitan; hence technically still LA!
