Heat in the City
Los Angeles -- A jet on final approach at LA International Airport.One thing we Angelinos have in the summer is heat and haze, which make for world-class sunsets. We also have billboards, palm trees, power lines and clutter; welcome to LA.

Living Life in a Sock
Wasps find the most clever places to take up residences. This time, a wind sock at a local airport was the property of choice.

Flashback
Corona, CA -- A few years ago, I heard the distinctive sound of a vintage twin-engine plane fly over me. I was near an airport and saw that the silvery 1940s Douglas was about to land, so I rushed to the terminal and arrived just as the two balloon tires chirped on the El Monte Airport runway.The plane taxied up to the greeting area and the door flipped open. Long story short, I befriended the owner of the plane, later chartering the DC-3 for 20 of my customers as well as logging a couple hours behind the wheel (every pilot loves to brag about flying a DC-3)!
I took the photo above of my friend "Scout." She loves costumes and thought a period photo in front of "Rose" would make a good Christmas card. Indeed it did.

Can't Park Here
El Monte Airport (just south of Pasadena) -- I remember when parking over night was not so strict. In collage, my buddies and I used to drive my 1972 VW van all over California and neighboring states. We parked over night at grocery stores, department stores, city streets and even on Highway 1 along the Central Coast. Although we anticipated the 6am knock on window from police, we usually got away with a stern warning.The Cessna doesn't have much to do with this story but the sign reminds me of the freedoms we used to enjoy on the open road way back when.
