If I Were A Cat…

…and my formerly orderly home would suddenly look like this,

then I would look like this too:

Yellow

And so, so pretty: Papilio machaon.

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot…

No, not bikini – this is the first Pedestrian Plaza conversion in Los Angeles.

Located at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Griffith Park Blvd., it leaves me a bit… baffled. It is green, it certainly is low maintenance, but what’s wrong with a bit of living green here and there? Instead of polka dots on steroids?

On the other hand, the bicycle stands are fun! And being used. That is a good sign.

LAIR II

We finally did it, we went and saw the new LAIR at the zoo.

Very impressive, from the green roof to the amazing inside with all sorts of living amphibians, invertebrates and reptiles.

One example of the critters one can see on exhibition inside is this Texas Horned Lizard. A charming guy, isn’t he?

We still did not make it to the newest attraction at the zoo.

But one day…

Bright Green

And very, very tasty: Fresh green pea soup.

Tastes as yummy as it looks good.

In short: A stunner.

Pink & Blue

The perfect color combination: Magnolias and blue sky.

Manicure, Please!

I’ll be with you in a moment, Sir.

Yes, yes, really – SoCal style.
