Little Lady

Since yesterday was a "dog day" I thought today should be a "cat day".  This tiny full-grown cat was so beautiful with her big blue eyes and long gorgeous hair.  She stuck around long enough for me to capture this image and a few more.



In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.”

Venice Dog

I was walking along the Venice, California canals and met a woman who was walking this dog.  This dog was so sweet and loved posing for pictures.  It turns out that she is a therapy dog and goes to hospitals and lets children love on her.  They feel instantly better.  Just look at that sweet face!

Take a Break

Once when visiting the Getty Museum in Los Angeles I saw this woman enjoying a nap in the garden area.  She looked like she didn't have a care in the world.  That's the way it should be.

Art in the Park

When I was walking in the park bluff in Santa Monica I came upon this sculpture.  It is very interesting with it's shape and form.  You can walk inside it.  Someday I'd like to try a photo shoot there with people.

Squirrelly

This little guy just stood there and posed for me.  I think he was waiting for some peanuts.

Red-Headed Child

When I saw the red hair on this child I couldn't help taking pictures of her.  She was beautiful and very full of it too.  When she's older I think she will have many suitors.

Yellow Canoe

One year in May, I spent time in Lake Tahoe, California.  Each morning I would get up very early to see what I could see.  The water would be very still and beautiful.  You could tell that it wasn't quite the summer season, so many of the boats and such hadn't been maintained in a while.  The yellow canoe along the fence was begging to be photographed.
