Scarlet Nantes

It's been a really good year for carrots (of the scarlet Nantes variety) in our small garden. We planted seeds in late September, and have been harvesting since January. It's now late March and we still have a handful left. We'll be missing them soon.

Masters of Illusion

My first time seeing a building under construction/renovation, covered by a photograph of its pre-construction self. Brilliant—and, yes, creepy—illusion imagineering in the land of Disney. Distracted visitors more or less experience the building the same as they would had it not been covered by a representation of itself.

Strawberry Picking

This is two years old; and I just realized I never posted before.

South on Hauser

Look Out, Instagram

I just discovered Lightroom presets. Forgive me.
This is the very first photo I've taken with my brand-new Canon G15, which I am liking a whole lot.

Westlake/MacArthur Red Line Station

I shot this for Metro recently. Being around there always makes me think of A Patch of Blue.

Abandoned On-Ramp

I was shooting for Metro, up on a ladder photographing the public art at the Expo Line's 23rd St. station, when I turned around and noticed this abandoned on-ramp to the 110 North. (It's fenced off at street level, so you wouldn't notice it without an elevated perspective.) What happens to an abandoned on-ramp?

Kitchen Count: California Towhee

Last post here was of a bird photographed from my living room; this one's from the kitchen, and it actually showed up in our backyard the day after the goldfinch. I'm pretty sure it's a California Towhee. And it's upside down, frankly, because I just found the photo dull in its proper orientation.
