…I found on my morning walk today…in the middle of nowhere!

The Hills of Beverly…
Once a year I go to Beverly Hills for my optometrist appointment (shut up — I DO live a glamorous life), and I’m always reminded of how far away I am from Missouri. Last year my appointment was doubly surreal when I ran into Lisa Vanderpump from “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” coming into the office as I was leaving. No RHOBH this year (unless you count walking through Kyle’s store) ($$$), but the town is entertaining enough.

Day of the Dead – more fun in a cemetery than you ever thought possible…
In the shadow of the Hollywood sign, which overlooks from a nearby hilltop, Day of the Dead memorializes and celebrates the dead in one of the most unique settings possible…the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (yes, it’s a real place). A beautiful setting every other day of the year, this cemetery comes alive (pun intended) on Dia de Los Muertos, LA-style.

Yikes…I’m scaring myself…

I’m always drawn to sad, broken dolls in antique stores. I grab a shot with my iPhone, and then MESS. THEM. UP. It’s so easy to do with Snapseed, from Google Nik Software.
Don’t judge. 🙂
Cool neon sign

Found this beauty in a small town in California redwood country — Garberville. I wish it still flipped the pancake, but alas, I saw it at night and it has lost its flip. But the Eel River Cafe is still open for business!
The friendliest barn in Utah…

My friend found a great Utah Barn Tour PDF online recently, and off we went. This was the prettiest one we found, in Richmond, Utah. The “Hi” sign made us grin!
