Hollywood Bowl with Fireworks Finale

It was a full house at the Hollywood Bowl. The draw was ELO...a band from the 80's but they had the Hollywood Bowl Philharmonic come out and play beforehand.  Lively fireworks after...

Beautiful night~

Fiesta de la Ballona

 Dancers get ready to go into the performance tent for this annual Fiesta de la Ballona celebration.

Culver City works hard at getting a lot of international participation - here is a traditional Mexican Dance. 

The next up is Greek Dancing.....and high participation. Sweet that the community gathers and enjoys this end of summer festival.

Peacocks in the cemetery

These are the regular group of peacocks at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

They will hang out either in their hutch or go through the graves and strut. I had been there at night and heard a whole hearted wail coming from their direction...so they make themselves known.

Lush summer

Marina kayaking

Sometimes you realize being in the intersection of right place at the right time....makes you notice that it's going to be an auspicious day!

The Broad - Cindy Sherman show

The Broad has been on the Los Angeles landscape for about one year. It keeps viewers excited and enthralled with it''s permanent rotating collection as well as shows like - Cindy Sherman, the chameleon-like photographer, posing as various characters.

Because admission is free, there is always a long line to get in...and on this especially hot LA day, it was the place to be.
