Day 273 - Dawn over Olive Park - 02.18.12

Got up early and went to Olive park with my wife this morning for a walk. The weather was beautiful and the sky was gorgeous. It was a great way to kick off the day. This was something I saw today.

Day 272 - Salt and Pepper - 02.17.12

As I sat eating breakfast this morning at work I took notice of these salt and pepper shakers and how they looked against the light bouncing off the table. I thought it would make for an interesting subject. It was something I saw today.

Day 271 - Cook's Bottles - 02.16.12

There was a toast at work this afternoon. There was champagne on hand for everyone to toast with. This crate of champagne bottles was something I saw today.

Day 270 - Glendale at Sunset - 02.15.12

I was back in California and back at work today. Had some clouds and rain today, but the sky started to clear at the end of the day. Stepped out on the balcony at work and looked out toward downtown Glendale and took this picture. It was something I saw today.

Day 269 - Wrightwood Avenue Across from Kelvyn Park

Went on a quick tour of old neighborhoods that my parents and my wife's family grew up in in Chicago. A block away from Kelvyn Park High School is Wrightwood Avenue. On that corner is Kelvyn Park. We stopped to take a picture of the high school because my mother went to the school On the walk back to the car (we parked next to the park on Wrightwood Avenue down the street from the house my mother grew up in) I looked down the street and saw this pretty scene of the trees and the newly fallen snow. It was something I saw today.

Day 268 - Canon Powershot - 02.13.12

It was mostly a sad day for the family. I took some photos of that sad event, but didn't feel that they were something I should share here. This photo of my daughter taking a photo of me seemed a little more appropriate for public consumption. It was something I saw today.

Day 267 - Waiting At LAX - 02.12.12

Flew to Chicago today. Got up nice and early for an 8:10 flight. As I waited at the terminal I snapped some photos. This man was something I saw today.

Day 266 - Valentine Decoration - 02.11.12

It is Valentine season and I saw this decoration today at my daughter's dance studio. I was something I saw today.

Day 265 - Village Church - 02.10.12

The Village Church is just a few blocks around the corner from my house. I always find it a bit funny that it has this bright neon green sign. Something about neon doesn't say church or reverence. That may be just me, though. So it was something I saw today.

Day 264 - Locker Lock - 02.09.12

Open house tonight at my daughter's school. Visited all of her classes and before we left we picked up her backpack in her locker. This is her open locker and was something I saw today.

Day 263 - Bart Simpson Cookie Jar - 02.08.12

Another busy day at work so I didn't get to take a photo until I got home in the evening. This is a Bart Simpson cookie jar we got at a garage sale years ago. It was something I saw today.

Day 262 - Water Gauge - 02.07.12

It was a gloomy cloudy day today in Burbank. When I got to work I parked near the top floor. I went up to the top in search of a photo and I found this gauge. It was something I saw today.

Day 261 - Garbage Day - 02.06.12

Got home a little earlier tonight. The sun hadn't quite gone all the way down and I took the garbage bins to the street. This bin with the blue top is our recycling bin. It was something I saw today.

Day 260 - Little Picnic Table - 02.05.12

My kids are too big for this little picnic table, but there was a time when they weren't. It now sits in our backyard with weeds growing around it. It was something I saw today.

Day 259 - Sewing Tomato - 02.04.12

Finally a quiet day at home. Watched Spider-Man 1 and 3 with my daughter who is still taking it easy after being sick. I noticed this nice photo opportunity in our dining room, where my wife has a table set up with her latest sewing project. She's doing costumes for my daughter's play at school. This was something I saw today.

Day 258 - Exit Gate - 02.03.12

My daughter was sick today and so I ran home at lunch to see how she was doing and to make her some lunch. How does this relate to this photo? Well, it meant that I parked much higher in the parking structure at work, than I normally do because I left and came back after lunch. So when I went to my car I saw this view looking over the turn around area leading to the gate to leave work. So this evening it was something I saw today.

Day 257 - Bette Davis Park - 02.02.12

I drive by Bette Davis Park every morning. This morning there was a bit of a haze in the air which looked very cool in the park. It made for a nice light background behind the silhouetted trees. The trees also form some interesting shapes as you can see. So this was something I saw today.

Day 256 - Crossing The Bridge - 02.01.12

I had a few minutes this afternoon to step out of the office and spent a few moments watching people cross this bridge. I featured this bridge once before, but from on the bridge itself. It was something I saw today.

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 254 - Los Angeles Zoo - 01.30.12

Swung by the zoo on my way home tonight. The parking lot was pretty vacant. It was something I saw today.

Day 253 - Wheel Chair - 01.30.12

Saw this wheel chair folded up behind this car parked in a handicap parking space today. Makes you wonder where the owner of the wheel chair was. Did he or she just walk away? Makes you wonder. It was something I saw today.

Day 252 - Adventureland Parrot - 01.28.12

Spent the day at Disneyland. Over in Adventureland I saw a stand with wooden birds for sale. They were at the store across from Jungle Cruise and Aladdin. I love the vibrant colors in this photo. It was something I saw today.

Day 251 - Patio Furniture - 01.27.12

The floor I work on has a patio with some chairs to lounge on. I took a moment today to step outside, take in some sun and take this picture. 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 248 - Sunrise Across the Street - 01.24.12

I peaked out the window at just the right time this morning to see the most amazing colors. I snapped a handful of photos during the few minutes that these breathtaking colors were on display. This is a view looking across the street from my house. 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 243 - Shoe Car - 01.19.12

I've driven by this shoe car for years. It is parked next to a local shoe repair shop here in Burbank. It was something I saw today.

Day 242 - Night Time Roof Top - 01.18.12

Had another one of those days where I didn't have a chance to take a photo until the very end of the day. So I took this photo looking over the roof tops at work. It 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 240 - Record Shelf - 01.16.12
