And some genius probably being paid [...]

While riding the tram from the parking lot to the entrance of Disneyland I could not resist the sign, the palm trees, the sunshine and the blue, blue clear sky. Disney announced lay-offs amidst restructuring this week. Which makes me sad and worried for my friends at Disney…..so this one is for you. See more [...]

Yorba Linda, CA This house is the home of Dr. Cochran. In 1918 he came to Yorba Linda and immediately began practicing general medicine. He practiced from this home for over 60 years. It has always baffled me that there is no plaque. No sign. Basically no acknowledgement at all of Dr. Cochran and all [...]

Living in Southern California I see A LOT of freeways and traffic. Because I am a native Californian I accept this fact, like someone who lives in Alaska accepts that there is a very good chance it will be cold when they wake in the morning. I don’t fight it, I don’t hit my steering [...]

An evening sky. And an evening boy. See what he is holding? The strap to his camera. He actually brought me out front to show me ‘the bestest sky ever’. Good to know I have trained him to notice the important details in life. He got plenty of good shots himself, but I love this [...]
