After Thanksgiving Outing

Here's how a lot of locals celebrated "Black Friday."

Thanksgiving Morning, 2009

Thanksgiving was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. We saw several whales spouting while sitting on our patio.

Hang Glider 2009

Hang Glider Lessons

Local Fountain

Three Heads are Better Than One!

These family members are trying to read the directions to install a pot rack.

Adaptive Re-use

This arrangements of old dishware makes an attractive piece of art.

Urban Garden

This is one of two raised beds that some people have planted on their front lawn.

Unusual Artwork

This artwork was made from small plastic baskets that were painted and glued in place. I really like the way they make shadows and patterns.

George Washington

This piece of artwork was made from U.S. currency bills- $1.oo bills of George Washington.

Bathroom Arrangement

I'm always impressed by fresh flowers in a public bathroom. It's such a nice touch.

Pleasant Artwork

Art and Ugly Doll

I started taking my Ugly Doll with me when I travel. Here she is next to a wonderful piece of contemporary art

Public Art

I really like this sculpture which is in the De Young Museum in San Francisco-- a long way from Rancho Palos Verdes.

More Lines and Angles

This graphic, painted on the side of a building, is another example of a great use of lines and angles.

Happy Child

This little boy was part of a group of children on the streetcar. They were on their way to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Veterans' Day, 2009

My childhood friend lives in Santa Rosa. She is an honorary member of the Pearl Harbor Survivors' Group. This was their entry in the local Veterans' Day parade.

Street Recycling

This street trash can was designed with a place for inserting your recyclables-- newspapers, cans, etc. It doesn't take up any more space than an ordinary container, but allows users to be part of the landfill problem in an easy-to-use way.

Lovely Motorcycle

The major road that goes through my city and along the Pacific Ocean is very popular with motorcyclists and bikers. This couple was parked near my car when I finished my 10K run.

Triangles and Arches

Autumn Leaves

Yes, there are autumn leaves in our part of southern California.

Wayfarers Chapel - outside looking in

When I stopped to investigate the scaffolding (see yesterday's post), I took a little bit of time to enjoy the rest of this peaceful and lovely church.

Renovation at Wayfarers Chapel

The bell tower and cross were being renovated last week for the first time in fifty years. The cross was painted and the carillon and its tower were restored. I was very surprised to see the scaffolding around the tower.

Sunrise before the Time Change

Last Friday, before we changed from Pacific Daylight Time back to Pacific Standard Time, I got to see this amazing sunrise. I stopped my car in the middle of Crest Road and snapped this photo out of my car window.

A Different Kind of "Doorway"

Math is the doorway to academic choices for most students. I don't mean that you have to be a mathematician, but knowledge of mathematics expands the career options tremendously. In addition, knowledge and understanding of math enables each citizen to understand the economic policies of her/his government.

I love to take photos of doorways. This doorway was set up in a plant nursery. They had plants for sale so that you could decorate your own doorway. I have another idea about doorways, though.

Please check tomorrow's post, too.

This is a tough theme for me since I have to choose from so many different doorways. This luxurious doorway is the entrance to the "Mar'sel" restaurant at La Terranea here in RPV. Please check back tomorrow and Tuesday for two different interpretations of the theme.
