There was an impromptu field trip/photowalk to the LA Arboretum today with Faded & Blurred. We all met out there with our families to walk and talk and take pictures. I was very excited about it because (as most of you know) I love to shoot flowers. I haven’t had the chance to do this in quite some time so it was great to be able to get out and renew some of my passion.

Although it cooled down a few degrees it was still pretty hot walking around in the sun so we ended up at BJs for a wonderful lunch and, more importantly, drinks. Made the hours in the heat worth it. If you are in Southern California and want to be updated on when these photowalks are (and there are a lot!) follow Faded & Blurred on Twitter or Facebook or check the site for updates!

I had to drive out to Arcadia today to pick up E from a Scout thing (he finally finished his last merit badge so he can get Eagle!). Anyway, on our way home we happened upon this surprising sight.                                 

As we watched him cross the road we looked up and saw about eight more just laying in the grass.

I was very disappointed with the photos I got. They were laying in the shade so the lighting was horrible. The pictures came out very noisy and blurry.  I had to post a few anyway because it was so cool… how many times do you see deer in the middle of a southern California neighborhood? I think I annoyed them though, because very soon they all got up and walked across the street.
