Walking the dog at the crack of dawn

Having a dog means being more on a schedule - dogs wait for no man, or something like that.  Maya needs a walk first thing in the morning, which for me is around 6 am (before heading for the treadmill). Lately, that's about the time that night transitions into morning - I've seen some very pretty sunrises in the last few weeks, which I guess is some benefit from those early morning walks!  A lot of homes on my route leave their porch lights on all night, and I find those glowing entryways romantic.  Here are a few illuminated portals for your perusal.  Enjoy.

Sunset near LAX

Last week when I came out of work, I was lucky to see an amazingly beautiful sunset.  I had a great view of it from the seventh floor of the parking structure and spent awhile taking photographs until the last of the light disappeared.  Here are some of those views, with LAX and the surrounding buildings lit up in reds and gold.  Enjoy.
