Mueller Tunnel, near Mt. Wilson Black Friday! Shopping! Deals galore! Everybody’s heading to the stores! Not everybody. When I was a kid our family used to drive to Chicago on the day after Thanksgiving to see the displays in the windows at Marshall Field’s, and to have a chat with Santa. The last time we [...]
I thought I might have published a photo of these stairs before. It turns out I have, from a different angle. I’ve also wondered but never known if they’re vestiges of the original Busch Gardens. They’re off the main path where you can’t easily see them. Watch for side trips. I do know that’s poison [...]
Heading north on Los Robles. Saw this. Felt lucky. Does the weather affect your mood? I like a rainy day because I like to stay indoors with the heater on. I like a hot day because I like going without a sweater or even sleeves. I liked yesterday because it was cool without being cold; [...]
guest photographer: Ginab’s friend Tom Weehee! It’s Monday! And a Zen Monday photo is just that: a Zen Monday photo. It is what it is. I mean, what is it? You tell us. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
It rained here most of the day yesterday. The neighborhood kids took advantage of the streams running in the gutters and made a couple of kayaks for the worms. These are the girls, mind you. I’m not sure what the boys were up to. This worm is fitted with its own kayak, oar, umbrella and [...]
I’ve never gotten a good shot of a Pasadena parrot. I’ve tried, but they don’t fly low enough and I don’t fly high enough. Even though parrots regularly flap above our neighborhoods, we don’t often find their feathers on the ground. I wonder why that is. We decided not to touch it. Mom always said [...]
The blue tile caught my eye when I took this photo some months ago. (I haven’t been out much lately.) This is the exterior of the Head Trip Salon and Boutique at 16 E. Bellevue Drive. I’m not sure what they sell in the boutique, but it looks like cute clothes. We’re south of the [...]
This is one of those photos I took ages ago, then lost, then found. Then I didn’t post it because I didn’t have a picture of the building, then I didn’t get to Old Town Pasadena to take a picture, then I did get to Old Town but forgot to take a picture. Then I [...]
I met guest author Jason O. Silva at this year’s Duarte Festival of Authors. What stopped me at his booth were his beautiful book covers. What kept me there was his warmth. The first book in his “Edgar Trunk” series for children was a Gold winner at the 2011 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. The [...]
Pasadena is part of the LA film business. John and I have neighbors who work in television, film, animation, and commercial audio, and that’s just our block. Like the music business, which lost its old model with the advent of music downloads, and like the publishing industry, which is experiencing a similar upheaval, the film [...]
