Day 255 - Golden Mouse Ears - 01.31.12
A few years ago for Disneyland's 50th anniversary there were all sorts of things made golden. Rides that were there when it opened had one gold car or dumbo or ship or whatever that was golden. So if you were lucky you might get to ride in the one gold vehicle. That lasted for just that year. Also during that year they sold gold 50th anniversary Mickey Mouse ears. Each member of our family got one and they now are displayed on a shelf. I took one down today for this photograph. It was something I saw today.

Day 250 - Bob's Big Boy - 01.26.12
Swung by the Bob's Big boy in Burbank this morning for a photo. This Bob's is the oldest Bob's Big boy still in existence. It is an historical landmark in the State of California. You can read more about it on their website. I had breakfast at this Bob's big boy the morning my daughter was born 12 years ago this week. My wife and I had a breakfast scheduled with a friend, but we ended up at the hospital all night and having a baby girl in the wee hours of the morning. Back then we didn't have cell phones and so instead of let our friend show up and wonder where we were, I drove over to the restaurant with my son to have breakfast while my wife rested at the hospital. So the place has some meaning to us. It was something I saw today.

Day 249 - Evening Falls - 01.25.12
Before leaving work tonight I took this picture of night falling over the hills of Glendale and Burbank. I like that I caught both day at the bottom of the frame and night at the top of the frame, complete with a crescent moon. It was something I saw today.

Day 247 - Rain On A Table - 01.23.12
It rained most of the day here, except for a brief window of time around 1PM when the clouds parted and the sun shined. It was during that time that I saw this table covered in rain water, glistening in the sunlight. It was something I saw today.

Day 246 - Girl On 2nd Street - 01.22.12
Spent the morning in downtown Los Angeles with another dance audition for my daughter. As I walked back to pick up the car I walked up hill along 2nd street toward the Disney Concert Hall. This girl was walking in front of me most of the time. When we came to this stretch of road with the trees I thought it made for an interesting photo. It was something I saw today.

Day 245 - Dance Audition Sign - 01.21.12
Guess where I was today. That's right, a dance audition, not for me of course, but for my daughter. We were at California State University Long Beach and this sign directing dancers to the audition was something I saw today.

Day 244 - Pink Cloud Morning - 01.20.12
When I stepped out of the house to go on my morning walk these fading pink clouds is what I saw. I quickly went back into the house and grabbed my camera. In this shot you can catch a faint sliver of a crescent moon shining through. The funny thing is that 30 seconds earlier when I first walked about you could see it even clearer. It is funny how quickly the sky can change. So this was something I saw today.

Day 241 - Batmobile Mural - 01.17.12
Had lunch with a friend in North Hollywood today. I was glad I had my camera because across the street from the restaurant was a custom auto body place that had this mural on the wall next to it. It was at the end of a dead end street. That is the 134 up over that hill behind the mural. It was something I saw today.

Day 233 - Randy Rhoads Wine - 01.09.12
What a day? Super busy at work and when I went to my car at 8PM and opened up my trunk and saw my camera I realized I had not shot a single photo all day. I had not even a moment to even give it a thought. So once I got home, had some dinner I looked at my Randy Rhoads wine and thought it a perfect subject. Now I'm not a drinker and in fact the only bottle of wine I have ever bought was this bottle of Randy Rhoads wine not to drink, but just as a memento of the legend Randy Rhoads. His sister runs a shop here in Burbank and I picked it up last year one night. Now it sits on our kitchen counter as a decoration. It was something I saw today.

My daughter has some ballet auditions in the next couple weeks. One of them is for the American Ballet Theater (ABT) and they ask for a couple photos. One is of a her doing an arabesque and the other is a head shot of her. We shot those photos this afternoon. I may be partial, but I think her head shot looks beautiful. It was something I saw today.

Day 229 - Broken Sprinkler - 01.05.12
This morning on the way to work I passed by a park and saw that there was a broken sprinkler shooting water straight up into the air. I quickly hung a left turn into the parking lot, jumped out and snapped a bunch of photos before the sprinkler turned off. In the morning light, the images were very contrasty. I then pumped up the contrast a bit more for a little extra drama. So this was something I saw today.
