The Getty Center..And an Amazingly Beautiful Day


The beautiful cactus in the Getty Center gardens. Psychedelic.

Some interesting structures add abstraction to the landscape.

Enjoying the sunshine in January.

More funky garden structures. 

How picturesque.

A mighty large camera.

The pool area. Sadly, I haven't gotten much of a chance to sit out and bronze. 

University of Southern California


The new School of the Cinematic Arts-just opened!


Pretty pretty palm trees everywhere.

The Steven SPielberg wing-Spielberg didn't actually go here but I heard he lost some bet with George Lucas so he had to donate money to the school or something.

Some More Road Trip Photos


The stables at Graceland, so pretty in the sunset.

Karen and Allison psyched for the tour.

Yes! Diet Coke and Lime...available throughout the great United States.
