Disney Concert Hall - Ryan Adam evening

Right out of a Nasa launch site, Disney Concert Hall at night

Street-level has a concourse feel to it.


Ryan has some hilarious remarks about his t shirt collection - cats!



Ryan Adams stage set-up sent him to all edges of the stage

A wildly entertaining evening.....wry moments and songs of longing

POTUS has landed




On a cool and rainy Wednesday, Barack Obama comes for a visit. I went around the corner from where I live to catch a glimpse of the plane landing 


The local police do a look see, police choppers overhead  and the President's plane is in plain sight.

Playa del Rey - Hills to walk and ocean views


 I have discovered a lovely walk to the Pacific Ocean...

California poppy and purple lupines



Bright pink fushia
Choppy waters and high winds
Slope down to the beach - the easy part

And all within a stone's throw of airport

Whale Watch Long Beach

Gray whales in tandem
Spouttng off - about every 6 minutes
Oggling the Queen Mary



Captain who pulls you right up to the action - seal base


Notice a little tilt on the boat....
The tail is called a fluke....a way to id them.

Leatherback turtle surfaces

I like the formation....very orderly.
