The Daily Pic - One Nation, Under God

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Another picture, taken out my driver's side window, while stuck in rush hour traffic.

The Daily Pic - Best Graffiti Ever!

I'm not typically a fan of the defacing of structures with graffiti....but I'm ok with this example!

The Daily Pic - A Beautiful Door

An old, beautiful, heavy, carved wooden door....It makes me wonder, how many people have passed through this door?  How many hands have knocked?  How many storms has this old door weathered?

A door.  A work of art.

Round Robin Photo Challenge: Something Old Something New

The theme for today's challenge was "Something Old, Something New".  I took this picture at a local, out-door, community market this week...it's a place where local farmers sell  meat, veggies and milk, local artists sell jewelry and all manner of home-made crafts and down-home, earthy items.  This picture is a snap-shot of a modern day mother with her two daughters....and yet, if the picture were in black and white, if the people were wearing different styles of clothing, and if the child were not wearing a bike helmet....it could have easily been taken back in the 50's.  I thought about making it a black and white picture...but I didn't want to lose the vibrant colors of the bikes, food truck and clothing....a little piece of modern day nostalgia.  Enjoy!

Around Town - Baldwin Park 5

I love this top picture!  It's one of my absolute favorites that I took while in Baldwin Park, last week.  At the rate I've been going, there was a distinct possibility that by the time I got around to sharing all of my pictures from that day, that I might have a while new bunch to share....so, I decided to make today's post a long one and to include all of my additional Baldwin Park pictures...at least until I take more.  Hope you enjoy!

Some sort of grass....it's either getting ready to flower or going to seed.

Framed by the fence...

I love the dark blue color of the water in this picture...

and the fact that you can see a full reflecting of the reeds growing along the edge.

I should really save these next two pictures until I hear of a photo challenge with the topic of "Green"...

but I'm not going to.

The unique bark on these trees caught my eye...and made for some pretty nice pictures!

Resident's decorating their homes for the upcoming holiday!

A pretty path...

Neighbors....one house invokes images of Americana...while next door I am transported to the Mediteranean.

I love the stark contrast of the branches against the sky.

It's all about perspective...from one point of view, the tree branches provide an arial border to the walking path...and from another point of view, they provide a natural frame to this post-card perfect home.

And there we have it....say good-bye to posts about Baldwin Park...at least for the time being!  :)
