Driving home at night

The days are short this time of year and most of the time I drive home from work in the dark.  Here are some creative views of my commute. Enjoy.

Chanuka, sunsets, and mystery city

Today I'm posting a variety of photos:  a couple from Chanuka, a couple from a deep red sunset this evening, and a couple from the city I visited two weeks ago to attend a wedding (can you guess where I was?)

Sky views

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm busy, busy making pies and cooking side dishes.  But I haven't posted in a couple of weeks and wanted to share some photos of amazing skies I've seen lately.  So without further ado, have a happy and meaningful holiday and enjoy the view.

LA Arts District Tour

I was volunteering again today - LA Conservancy had a tour of the LA Arts District, located on the east side of downtown LA.  It's a section of town that used to be an industrial and manufacturing center.  Now a lot of the former factories and warehouses have been converted into lofts and live-and-work studios.  It's not really the type of place I'd like to live - too urban, not enough trees or gardens - but it's an interesting place to visit :)

Here are some of my photo impressions of the area on the tour.  Enjoy.

Autumn is in the air

Although the weather seems to be clinging to summer, there's the feel of autumn in the air.  Days are getting shorter, the heat kicks on in the morning, leaves are changing colors and falling in drifts on the lawn.  I like this time of year - hope it lasts for a while.

Halloween is next week.

Back to the routine

Sorry to be gone so long.  September was very busy, full of holidays and events and other things that seemed to get in the way of sitting down and posting to the blog.  I hope your September was as nice as mine.

Here are some photos from a walk I took this afternoon.  The weather was great today - sunny, breezy, not too warm.  Some plants are still blooming while others are turning colors for the coming autumn.  And a contented kitty finds a comfortable spot for a little catnap.  Enjoy.

Wedding in Montreal

I was in Montreal a couple of weeks ago for my niece's wedding.  I'd never been there in summer - it was amazing to see everything green and the weather so warm.

Here are some photos from both the wedding and just hanging around the house.  A majority of the ones I selected ended up being of kids (children of my nieces and nephews!) - they seem to do such cute and creative things :)

Hope you enjoy them!
