Look what popped up
Some wild California poppies growing in a field (as of March 27).
Growing where?
In the wilds of... downtown Los Angeles. (Specifically on the hill next to 4th and Hill.)
Down by the water
Near Pismo Beach, where these wetlands are separated from the ocean by the dunes.

Night leaves
All these shots of these leaves lit by a parking lot light have not been adjusted on the computer. This is how they came out when shooting; only settings on the camera were changed. (That's not implying that I tend to do a lot of "post-production" tweaking, because I don't, but these I specifically left as is.)
This is the city
On display outside Pershing Square on St. Patrick's Day was a police car from the '50s. This is its siren.
Not easy being green
Shots from St. Patrick's Day at Pershing Square in downtown L.A., specifically the fountain that gets dyed green in honor of the patron saint of Ireland. Or something.
Sunset over the docks
