For all of you car enthusiasts out there, this one's for you! And for those of you who like pretty things, you may just like the great color combination. Anyway, here are a few photos of a cute little car I ran across in my travels recently...I had never heard of it so I looked it up when I got home and here's what I found.
Is it real or just a photographic illusion? Hmmmm...either way I thought it was cool enough to share with you!
As promised, here are a few photos of the very beginning stages of the construction of our new home. You may have to use your imagination a little at this phase considering it is pretty much concrete and stacked wood at this point. Anyway, we went over last night and here is a little bit of what we saw.
Two essentials of an construction site...an 11mph sign and an outhouse!
Here is Chad standing in what will be our garage.
Here are a few photos of the ever exciting concrete and wood. The first looks to be our eventual stairs, the second is, well, just a stack of wood, and the third shows what will be the view from our balcony when it is all completed.
And finally, I was messing around taking some pictures of the concrete as it was getting dark at a longer exposure. Here's what I came up with.
Chad and I decided at about 7:30pm tonight to make our way down to the beach and spend some time together as the sun was going down. We have had a very exciting and busy few weeks with a variety of fun events with our friends and being in the process of buying our first home (stay tuned for pictures of the construction progress), so we decided to take a night to relax and spend some quality time together. We had a fantastic night relaxing at the beach, enjoying each other's company, and of course snapping a few shots along the way.
And for those of you who don't know Chad, and can't identify him by his feet :), here is a face to put with my stories..jpg)
Any John Denver fans out there? Talk about a classic! Anyway, I spent the better part of today photographing houses very much off the beaten path...it was pretty great actually, and the best news of all...I didn't even get lost! So I managed to grab some extra photos along the way. Can anybody name that fruit?
So I had a little adventure today driving along some back roads in good old inland empire of SoCal. It was actually kind of a weird experience as I felt like I was in a foreign country for about an hour today, and to be honest I started to panic a bit because I was literally lost in Perris! Anyway, when I have more time I'm going to stop and capture all the weird things I saw, but for now, I just have some pictures of a pretty sweet looking church. It kind of stuck out like a sore thumb so I had to stop! So here you go, and please check back for the sequel to my day today...coming soon...Back to Perris.
When I think of summer, I think of bbq's and baseball. Last night my sister and brother-in-law got their hands on four tickets to the Angels game and invited Chad and I. Naturally, we jumped on the chance to see some baseball and journeyed up north for the night. It turns out that we had amazing seats, about 15 rows from the first base dugout and were able to watch a great game in Angels Stadium, which in my opinion, is one of the best fan experiences that you can get in MLB.
The Angels have a mascot called the Rally Monkey, which made its first appearance in June of 2000, and has been around ever since. The Rally Monkey only appears when the Angels are tied or trailing by three runs or less in the 7th inning or later, with a runner on base. Last night, we were able to experience the wrath of the Rally Monkey (pictures to follow) along with a fireworks show following the game. All in all, a very fun night, and here are some pictures to show for it.
