Drive time

I haven't done a commuter post in a while. Here are some photos from my drive to and from work.

FYI, the people dressed as the statue of liberty are advertising nearby offices that prepare tax returns.

Wedding in the Valley

I went to a wedding last Sunday - I'm friends with both the bride and the mother of the bride. Here are a few photos from before, during and after the ceremony.

Winter in LA

Every weekend, the weather is completely different. Two weeks ago, it was raining; last week, it was cold. This weekend, it's been close to 80 degrees F! I'm not ready to pack up the sweaters and return to t-shirts full-time... not quite yet. Next weekend is supposed to be 20 degrees cooler - we'll see...

This morning I went on a hike in Runyon Canyon Park. The park used to be the actor Errol Flynn's residence; his house is long gone, but the property is now a dogs welcome/leash free wilderness park. The standard hike is only 2 miles; to lengthen it, I walk to the park from home; this adds an additional 3 miles, making it a respectable 5 mile hike. It's nice that a little bit of nature lies only 1.5 miles north of where I live.

Below are some views from today's hike. My walk takes me past the apartment building that my grandparents owned in the 1960's and 1970's. It looks pretty much the same as it did back then.
