Day 529 - Halloween Signs - 10.31.12

I finally got back to work today.  The bummer part of the whole day was the fact that I was booked in meeting all day long because I had bumped my Monday and Tuesday meetings to today.  I even worked through lunch.  So when there was all sorts of cool Halloween activities happening at work, I couldn't break free to take any photos.  I pretty much knew the day was going to be like that from the start which is why I took this picture first thing in the morning.  It was something I saw today.

Day 528 - Toast - 10.30.12

Another day home sick with bland food like toast.  This is 3 days of toast now.  Ugh!  This was something I saw today.

Day 527 - Halloween Pee Wee 2012 - 10.29.12

Another sick day around the house.  I resorted to another photo of a decoration.  Pee Wee has been decorated for the holiday.  It was something I saw today.

Day 526 - Sparkly Skull - 10.28.12

This may be too much information, but today's photo is the result of being very sick last night.  Had a night of violent puking, which has left me tired and weak.  So I am not leaving the house and had to find something around the house as a subject.  This sparkly skull is out for Halloween and seemed simple enough.  It was something I saw today.

More Nutcracker rehearsals today.  This is one of the teachers teaching the choreography for the Mother Ginger portion.  It was something I saw today.

Day 524 - Food Truck Night - 10.26.12

In Burbank on the last Friday of every month Food Trucks line Magnolia Blvd. in the evening.  I had never gone to this event, but I have wanted to for months since I heard about it.  I didn't want to go for the lines or the food.  I can take a pass on that.  I was interested in the photo opportunities.  Well tonight I went and brought my tripod.  I took a few photos.  The sidewalks were pretty crowded, which made it a little harder, but I got a couple shots I like.  This scene here was something I saw today.

Day 516 - Sunrise Down the Alley - 10.18.12

This morning I got up and did my morning walk before the sun came up.  When I started my walk the stars were out, but during the walk the clouds rolled in.  There was a nice breeze bringing them in.  By the time the sun came up there was a thick cloud cover.  I snapped this photo before heading off to work around 7:30.  It was something I saw today.

Day 507 - DreamWorks At Sunset - 10.09.12

The sky was beautiful as I was leaving work this evening.  However the real reason I stopped for this photo was I liked the way the light was hitting the side of the Campanile building tower.  I thought it was cool against the sky.  It was something I saw today.

What a day.  The family and I went to China Town for most of the afternoon and then on the way home we went up to Griffith Park Observatory to watch the sunset.  My daughter and I each had cameras to take pictures.  After the sun dipped below the horizon the colors in the sky were breathtaking.  I noticed this couple taking photos of the site and snapped a picture of them against the brilliant colors.  It was something I saw today.
