El Niño

I'm not complaining really....but El Niño is definitely drenching us.





























































Not that the 20 inches of rain is insignificant,





far more than a drop, I'd say.









and so gently filling our water basins...
















It's the pile on effect....and the slides we may expect as we wend our way through an accumulative state 'o rain.


Ok, the really sad thing is .... aside from the utter devastation in Haiti...is that it killed my camera....

One last burst into the elements and poof, it went down.


To be continued....

Malled

A large addition to the mall has enhanced daily life for many....



the big box store Target has something for everyone.




















A tigress-hair sectional is very unique!


























Featured valentines bears...
























Massages by the dollar...














We combine school and workability needs to navigate our way through this maze.






An amass of colors, lights, and tunes





sets in motion the business of the day....




browsing,



socializing and eating.






























































After hours, I walk by the nearby baseball field - LAX adjacent and find planes launching
skyward.








I like finding new adventures...however local it is.

Off to the races....

Well into the first month of

20-10

and we're off....

Like these fellas...surely there's a joy in the camaraderie, but not sure I want to be goin' at this speed.


Well, just noting that we're supposed to be having fun, no matter the speed.

Blue moon and rose parade

Happy New Year...





Surreal lighting recasting an evening full of "Day for Night."















It was the year that left with pigs flying...












and bulldogs perfecting sledding at 70 degrees.























































May you stay warm and bright throughout the year!
