A Little Visitor in the Flower Shop

We were at Lowe’s this afternoon getting some birdseed and garden supplies. While we were there we shopped around looking at the pretty flowers. Well, we weren’t the only ones interested in the flowers. This little guy browsed these little purple flowers long enough for me to get a half dozen shots of him. This was one of the best of the lot.

Little Green Apples

I like to decorate the coffee table with these edible green apples from time to time. They sit in a monkeypod bowl and today the lighting was perfect for this nice artsy still-life photo. Click image to enlarge.

San Pedro Municipal Building

Also known as “San Pedro City Hall”, the seven-story Beaux Arts building was completed in 1928 and is the tallest building in San Pedro; includes an old jail, a wood-paneled courtroom, and a fire station converted into a museum. This building with its spectacular period architecture is a City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument.

We were in downtown San Pedro last Friday on business when I snapped this photo. Click image to enlarge.
