Photos as I Like It

Wow, I'm behind in posting my hourly photos, so here goes: 7 AM: Out the Bedroom Window 8 AM: Macro Flower 9 AM: Finnegan's View 10 AM: Yard Beauty 11 AM: Carrington Way Stair Mural Noon: Fourth of July Party Prep

The beginning time slots for this year's photo challenge are going to be a bit of challenge. Trying to decide to stay up or set an alarm is going to be a constant conversation for our images. I managed to stay up for 1am, and as I did listened to the cars driving by on the 110. With the historic Arroyo Parkway/110 State Route/Pasadena Freeway just across the street, I've captured images of moving cars multiple times, but never at 1am, so I figured I'd head over there. This image captures a few cars heading north and south with an infrared filter applied. I like the flood of light that is created by just a few cars. 1am on January 18th Molly 1am Sarah 1am

This is actually the very first photo I took in this year's colors photo challenge, back when I was looking for Aquamarine. It wasn't at close to a match, but I held onto it, hoping it'd come into use later. I think it works nicely for sky blue.

This is a small piece of the City of South Pasadena's self-built float. South Pas has a long tradition of building the cities Rose Parade float by city residents and no large companies. It's always something fun and playful.

I found this candle stand in a jumble of sale items at the local nursery. It all seemed so unexpected and out of context, but I loved the setting and pile of stuff that had nothing to do with a nursery.

I have no idea what this company is, but I've always liked the building and the sign out front.
