SoCal Vignettes: springtime in SoCal

Amy — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:00:00 +0000

It is becoming springtime in Southern California ….

… I had no idea how much I missed this!

I haven’t experienced a SoCal spring season since 2002 … 7 years? The couple days of a Phoenix spring season don’t even compare.

Perfect weather. Cool enough that I still need a sweater. Warm enough that I don’t need anything heavier.

Spring makes me want to drive out on the 101 in the afternoons. All the way to agora hills or thousand oaks. With my window down.

Spring makes me want to go buy flowy, colorful dresses. And wear skirts…. every day.

Spring makes me want to lounge around outside with a book that develops into a nap.

Spring makes me want to wear flip-flops. The first day of 2009 to wear flip-flops was Friday. Just warm enough to get away with naked toes ….

Spring makes me want to read Anne of Green Gables. I always crave those books in springtime.

Spring makes me want to add ‘TREES’ in big letters to the top of my future-house wishlist.

Spring makes me want to quit my job so I don’t have to be inside on these gorgeous days.

SoCal Vignettes – the city

Amy — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:00:00 +0000

these are all downtown somewhere .. I forget. By the Walt Disney concert hall and Staples Center.

I love the city. I love the way some streets are so dark because the tall buildings block out direct sun. I love all the brick and concrete. I love it.

All photos taken from a moving vehicle.

SoCal Vignettes – Seal Beach Kite Festival

Waaaaay back, Oct 5th, we happened to go to Seal Beach on the day of a kite festival. It was pretty neat. I didn’t get a ton of photos cause we were hanging out w/ family … but still fun.
