1.8.12 ... hollywood sign and beach scenes

1

yesterday was another glorious day, weather wise. we have been here for 5 weeks and, with all of our miles of driving around, had still not seen the hollywood sign so, after the daily house hunt, we googled the best spot to view the hollywood sign and had a wonderful time driving up to the look out point. wow. what a neighborhood.

love that sign.

and you can see the city, too.

we drove over to santa monica and took a short stroll on the beach during the last hour of daylight.

who knows what will happen next, but one thing i do know is that scout compiled a remarkable portfolio and wrote a beautiful, entertaining artist statement. both genuine and from the heart. if anyone epitomizes walt's dream student, we can present her and with pride. hold good thoughts, dear friends & readers.

happy 2012 everyone. this year my blog posts and creativity will take an even more eclectic turn. i have been tossing this idea around for a few months now and i have decided to go with it. i have brainstormed a list of headings and will use them as a guideline in no particular order. a serendipitous year. today's accomplishment: i gave scout a long overdue haircut. she is very happy with it. we were working on her portfolio for hours this evening and i am beat. that's all for now. maybe tomorrow i will share my topics list with you. 

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
