and now he is 3

and now he is 3

S will be 3 tomorrow (Thursday). I could write a really long post about how this day makes me feel. But I won’t. Somehow I don’t have the words. I will be very unoriginal and say … 3? how did that happen. My baby. All I want to do is look at him and make [...]

a hot day in november

a hot day in november

It was very hot. So we had some ice cream and played on the beach.

good morning from venice beach

good morning from venice beach

A few pictures from Venice Beach and the Canals. I took a walk this morning and this time I had a camera with me. It was nice, but got really warm quickly. I have to wake up earlier… Is that snow in the first picture? It sure looked and felt like it…

Venice beach fireworks

Venice beach fireworks

Just a couple of pictures I took yesterday at the Venice Beach. We did not have time to go over to Marina Del Rey, so we just went down to Venice Beach. Fireworks was OK, but it’s much nicer, and closer (and louder) from Marina. These pics were poladroid-ized (oh how I love that toy!):

versions of a photograph

Most of the pictures in previous posts are shown as they have been shot – no processing in Gimp, maybe only a few have been cropped. Today I spent some time on Flickr… yes I know, time warp, too many other things to do, and all that… but I really haven’t done that in a [...]

Leacock Memorial Trail

Leacock Memorial Trail

Today I picked a trail I did know about except that I saw a sign to the trailhead on Sunset Blvd, close to Bienvenida, which is on our way to school. I could not find it at first, because the road deadends at one of those posh gated communities. But when I did a U-turn [...]

summer makeover…

summer makeover…

…for the beach towers along Venice/Santa Monica beach. These were taken over the last few months during my bikerides, which are supposed to be regular but are really occasional. This is the first time I have seen thse towers painted since we have been here (10 years). It’s a nice change, just in time for [...]

finally a hike

finally a hike

After I missed two Thursday hikes, first Sven was sick and then me, I was finally able to go out for a hike. I went back to Will Rogers Park, and this time there were no bees, so I headed up Inspiration Point trail. I am not sure I actually got to the Inspiration Point [...]

walk around the neighborhood

walk around the neighborhood

I should take more walks. I remeber when my first son was born, we walked every day, all around the neighborhood. When he was very little, we used to go as soon as he woke up (and it was not dark outside, this IS Venice after all). He was usually fussy early in the morning, [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
