Orchids at the Bank Photograph & 29 Faces 18...



I'll bet you thought that I never go anywhere besides art museums and gardens...  Well, that's usually the case, but sometimes I do venture out to other places.  These orchids were a new addition to the lobby at the bank and I thought they were lovely.  I also like the flower blooming below them, but I'm not sure what the name of it is.

This is my 18th face for the 29 faces challenge.  The challenge is to share 29 faces in the month of September.  I think she has a very sweet quality...

Descanso Garden Water Lily Pond Photograph & 29 Faces 4...



I took this photo at Descanso Gardens.  This is one of my favorite spots there.  The small circular pond is surrounded by beautiful benches.  In this photograph, all I captured was the pond itself, there were so many beautiful water lilies when I went that day...

Wordless Wednesday: A Summer Dinner at Gui Lin in Monterey Park




I took these photographs of our meal at Gui Lin in Monterey Park.  As a vegetarian, I was thrilled that they had not one, but two vegetarian soup options!  I've visited Gui Lin on two occasions and tried a different one each time, they were both excellent.  They also had cold cucumbers which were so amazing we finished them too quickly to get them in the picture!  I'd also highly recommend the cold mushrooms.  As you may see from the first picture, my companions were not vegetarian and there was an abundance of options that they highly enjoyed.  The decor was interesting, I posted a pic a while back of a toy yellow VW bug that they had suspended from the ceiling a while back that was indicative of their design concept, but the prices were good and the food and service outstanding.

One thing that they did that I didn't expect was adding peanuts to the soup.  I also didn't expect to like it, but I really did.  It added something nice.  However, if you should chance to eat there and you have a nut allergy, I would let them know not to add any.  They seem to add them to all of the soups, including the non vegetarian options.

They also had an array of delicious sweet drinks, in case you have a sweet tooth, which I definitely do...

Anyway, if you'd like to take a look, I'm having a print giveaway that ends on July 30th, the information is here.

Wordless Wednesday: The Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen Sculpture by Edward Degas








Edgar Degas
French, 1834-1917
The Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen, 1878-81
Bronze

I attended a talk not so very long ago on Degas and movement at the Norton Simon.  I was reminded that I had taken this series of photographs of his Little Dancer in the round.  I am deeply drawn by the art at the Norton Simon, I love to circle the sculptures and see them from a variety of views.  Of all of his pieces, I think this is one of the only ones that he exhibited.  I learned more about this sculpture during the talk, but I intend to share more of what I learned in a Monday post at some point in the future.  For this post, I mainly wanted to share The Little Dancer in various views.

Also, I'm having a print giveaway that ends on July 30th, the information is here.

Wordless Wednesday: A Sunflower...



Just something bright and pretty for this bright and pretty day...  I took this sunflower photograph a while back, the bouquet was a gift and I took a number of photographs of it as I often like to use flowers as my models...
