Last Day Of The Year
Posted on December 31st, 2011, by Petra
2011 is drawing to a close and the last day of the year was one of spectacularly good weather; even by our SoCal standards 80 F are quite impressive and one had to take a stroll through the Zoo and the Botanical Garden.
So – there we are – some celebration tonight and tomorrow morning we can say: Hello 2012!
May it be a good year.
Merry, Merry Christmas!

How can it not be a wonderful holiday, when even the beaches are decorated with charming ornaments in festive color?

We met the cutest elf in town tonight after the Christmas Tree Lighting in our quarter.
Now it is official – Christmas is just around the corner.

…is definitely not a tramp.
However, with a bit of a stretch one could call her “Ol’ Blue Eyes”.
HC SVNT DRACONES

Downtown Los Angeles is “terra icognita” for many people. They have heard about it, but most of the time only rather frightening tales. Images of the Hunt-Lenox Globe with its dire warning of “here be dragons” come to mind.
And you know what? They are right! There are strange beasts to be seen; maybe not quite dragons, but fierce enough – and definitely huge.
They seem to have divided up their territory rather nicely, because a more benign looking neighbor lives on the other side of the street.
And they can be seen all year round, not just on Halloween.
