day 26: Ben and I went to CVS today to pick up some batteries and picture hanging wire, and were confronted with a massive easter display. Now it may just be me, but I find something very disturbing about an easter shot glass hanging next to bagged cotton candy and a “Dora the explorer” easter pail. What’s next?

day 25: In loving memory of little grandpa.

day 24: We had so much fun watching airplanes yesterday that we decided to go over to the Santa Monica airport to take photos today. I took this one while Ben was watching a helicopter landing.

day 23: There is an abandoned strip of beach in Los Angeles south of Playa del Rey and north of Manhattan Beach. There are nicer beaches to either side of it which ensures long stretches of unpopulated sand. My favorite part of this particular beach is that it is directly below the outbound flight path of LAX which makes it an excellent site for plane spotting.

day 22: I always love cool photos of things that you never stop to look at. We were walking by some trees today and I noticed how intricate the bark was so I decided to take some photos.

day 21: Yesterday (when I shot this photo) was Ben’s birthday. We played a little wii golf and at first everyone was up and using the remote like a real golf club. By the time 1 AM rolled around however, the wii playing looked more like this.

day 20: Mural along the construction fence around the site of the new wing of St. John’s hospital… if only all construction fences were murals.

day 19: with many more hours of javascript homework looming in my future and midnight creeping up on me I figured I might as well take a photo of the nearest thing to me… the creepy chandelier over our dining room table.

day 18: My parents are staying up at our place for a couple of days so they’re fair game for my non-stop photo taking. Here is my favorite from today.

Day 17: Dogs are known for being companion animals, but Rita takes it to a whole new level. Her absolute favorite place to be is sitting on top of one of us. Here she is in her favorite nap position.
