A little figgy for autumn...

I have some old shots of figs that I have been wanting to replace. I finally got around to reshooting the other day. These new ones are just in time for autumn. :)

smitten with L.A.: a fun week Oct 7-13

Last week was a lot of fun. A tea ceremony, an opera, seeing my cello teacher perform with a chamber orchestra, successful dog training, rain, and shopping! Although I missed a few things that would've made it an incredible week, such as Cig Harvey at Julia Dean's and seeing Endeavour roam the streets of Los Angeles. Although we did get to see it's final flight the other week. It flew right over our house! So that counts. Anyways, Los Angeles has so many things to do you can never be bored.

{ A mix of iPhone & regular camera photos. :)}

A tea ceremony at the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens in San Marino. 

Plus my pics were on Modern Family, always makes me smile to see them. :D

And our first time seeing an opera:  LA Opera's Don Giovanni.  We took LA Weekly's recommendation to eat at Tina Tacos before the show. Super cheap and super delicious. And the nicest view too. :)

And I was so excited to see my cello teacher play. He is amazing! :)

photo challenge: a day in the life of...

My dear photography gal pal, Laura Evans, invited me to participate in a photo challenge yesterday. The theme being a sort of day in the life of. Well I told her my life will bore her to tears but hey, at least it will be a challenge in itself to make my life look interesting. So here it is, my little essay of yesterday's events. Well up until around 2:30 or so. And minus a few breaks I took to yap on the phone with a friend, play with our new rescue dog, and have a few cookies. 

Since I had gone to an all day workshop on Wednesday I was easily inspired to focus on more creative pursuits Thursday. But  I swear on a regular day I am much more productive. :)

yes, i use a cheesy Los Angeles mug for my coffee!

he was pretty annoyed at me since it was so early in the morning.

she wasn't happy with the interruption either, you can see one of her eyes is starting to open. haha

it's hard to see but his leg is in the air behind him!

she has been here for almost a week and is a gorgeous gal!

i am a big nerd! i love to listen to them when i am working on the computer.

i try to stay on top of them as they come in so i can ship as quickly as i can.

thought this was prettier than my actual lunch...

who am i kidding? i will still torture my poor sweet teacher... haha

i am a pretty private person, but i don't mind sharing my love of twinkly lights that i put around the house! :)
