Anyone who has read of my car troubles lately, here or on Photos By Emilio, probably thinks for me to take the train might be a good idea. Well, I tried to take it but there was this engineer who just wouldn’t leave long enough for me to attempt it! I know, not very funny but it’s the best I could do today! Sorry!

Pizza House

On Monday, I found an hour of free time and decided to use it to meet a friend, and also to find the shot that would be my contribution to Monochromia for the week.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before I realized that I’d left my camera back at the house. What?  I rarely go anywhere without my camera!

As I walked down the sidewalk to the Pizza House, I looked up and saw the street light shining on the brick wall, and knew that my cell phone camera would have to do.

Pacific Beauty

I must admit I left my husband at the dinner table to run out and capture the sun’s last hurrah as it set over the Pacific Ocean. (No worries – I did have his blessing.) Alas, the sun moved more quickly than I did, and without many clouds in the sky there wasn’t a great deal of color, but I thought the scene worked beautifully in black and white. Hope you agree!
