Gas Prices 2 Years Ago

I took this photo in March of 2009 in San Diego.

Today, I paid $4.29 per gallon, but my car takes premium. Oh well.

St. Patrick's Day on Top

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Echo Mountain above Pasadena in Los Angeles.

Off Base

Pasadena -- Missed it by that much.

Storm Clouds over OSH

Pasadena -- Storm clouds gather as shoppers rush in and out of Orchard Supply Hardware. Today LA residents got to experience cooler-than-normal temperatures, with the thermometer dipping all the way down into the 40s! (Joke) Yeah, we have it pretty good here in the Crown City, especially when we get to wake up to snow-capped mountains.

Sierra Madre's St. Rita

Sierra Madre -- Winter in LA usually means a beautiful sky and cool temperatures. Today was another perfect example. Pictured above is Saint Rita's Catholic Church built in 1969.

Peek-A-Boo

Wedding Day

A good friend and his groomsman wait for the bride to arrive.

Dynamic V-Day Duo

Pasadena -- I am lucky to have married a woman who enjoys people and photography as much as I do. Photo shoots of each other in the back yard in front of a white backdrop stimulates goofiness and a few keepers. Happy Valentine's Day!

Crystal Cathedral

Garden Grove, Calif.-- This iconic church is made with over 10,000 squares of glass put together with a silicone-based adhesive. Since California is prone to large earthquakes, the Crystal Cathedral apparently can withstand an earthquake of 8.0. I would still hate to be inside during one of our regular temblors.

Characters Along Route 66

Oro Grande, CA -- (Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Los Angeles along the National Trails Highway on the old Route 66 near Barstow)

What kid wouldn't want to have their picture taken with the world-famous, "Bottletree Man?"
