An endless source of interesting sightings.
Two of the three main types of emergency responders.
Well, this was obviously an import! It's still got its European license plate!
We got stuck in traffic when the protesters decided to march across the intersection during the green light.
This fire truck apparently couldn't just park behind the cars lined up by the curb and had to take up its own lane.
When I was a kid, I used to call the days when rain would come and go very quickly “zebra days.” Much like the stripes of a zebra, the dark would quickly be followed by light and then dark again. This spotty weather fascinated me, so I just had to take some pictures when it happened again. We’ve been getting a lot of little storms coming through, apparently due to El Nino, as I’ve been told.
Dark trimmed with glaring light.
Got some precipitation even in seemingly clear patches.
The view through my moonroof.
Quite ominous, isn't it?
Some poufy cotton ball-looking clouds in the "white stripe" zones.
UCLA has a lovely campus and Los Angeles has quite a skyline.
I spotted a blimp and immediately went chasing after it for photos. Turns out the first one was to be the only one. Those things are deceivingly fast!
The wide pathway taking us to the edge of North Campus.
From Broad, we looked over YRL to the areas of Westwood beyond.
Further to the west, you can see the lights of Pauley Pavilion nestled amongst the shadows.
And nearly directly to the west are the res halls upon the Hill, with the ocean somewhere in the distance.
On the east are some buildings that line Wilshire Blvd going towards Beverly Hills.
The gently-illuminated trees create a nice walkway.
These palm trees stand watch in the courtyard by the North Campus center.
I hope the males of these creatures don’t have gender crises. :-P
Hiding away.
Trying to run away.
Focus kept going towards the leaves.
He/she's looking at me!
Right after I wrote about the doggies at the office yesterday, of course two new ones had to come in today! So of course, I can’t help but add them to the mix:
Sophie, a feisty little one!
Then came Bumblebee from upstairs, the most complacent one of all.
He kept making rounds around the office and occasionally stirring up trouble with Sophie, who wasn't happy he was there.
At work, we have daily guests of the canine variety. I managed to get shots of all but one, who hasn’t been around for awhile now. Here they are, in all their cute glory!
Duke hangs out by my area during the day, often napping or chewing on a toy.
Little Kaya, who is rather shy and scurries around a lot. She likes me enough to jump on my lap now!
Toro (Torro?) had surgery recently for a torn ACL, but he's still making his way around just fine. Here he is contemplating how he can get the treats up on the desk.
You know, I don't actually know this puppy's name. A bit paranoid and avoids contact with most people. I did manage to pet him a few times though. 
Not pictured is Barkley, a gray pit bull.
A drizzly night earlier this month, my friend and I went into LUSH after a wooonderful dinner at Buddha’s Belly. A lovely surprise awaited as I was invited to get a free facial!
Ready to start!
First layer, the face wash.
Having some fun with the fizzle they put in the water.
The final stage, a mask. Mmm, blueberries!
Been a long day, so a quick post for now…
I showed it in my video awhile ago; now here is a picture for posterity. The wonderful cut I got from Panda. :-P
When the rains come to LA, it sure does dampen the place. Check out the dense fog that covered us for a week!
Visibility sucks and drivers get even worse than they already were.
I don't even know how much more of that hill there might be.
The world beyond is veiled...
Oh, dreary days!
Oh the funny things you find while driving…
Whatever was that for?
Good to know, in case I wanted to break in and have some of that...
Such a bright green color!
