Family Scenes From Rodeo Dr. ..01.08.2012

 ...not especially teeming with shoppers and visitors on this cool, pleasant CA winter afternoon....the shadows beginning to lengthen...I'm beginning to regret the closeness of the plane trip that will return us home, so far away from our two dear kids...

 ...the ladies in the group are likely busy shopping in a store while the bored fellows await their return, laden with packages?

...the little girl HAD it for the afternoon and let the whole street know about it! The tired wail of a young child dragged thru one too many shops that day.... and no toys. I did not notice a toy shop on Rodeo Dr...

Ok, what did I learn in CA? I've been reading that colored denim jeans are trendy this year. Unless you are 15, the way to go with this look might be to gravitate to burgundy or a nice deep turquoise?

Daddy's Princess getting the hang of promenading on one of the world's most prestigeous shopping venues. She was adorable, quiet (not tired or hungry yet) and enjoying herself. Our Pearl was inside that Lululemon store finding a nice pair of yoga pants. I had a great time sampling the culture with my camera.

Swipin' a Few Souls on Rodeo Drive....

...the lady in the yellow top looks a bit like Camryn Manheim. Part of the fun of SoCal is wondering if that person you just saw is ???  or was that ???

West Hollywood and Beverly Hills...

 Wow! Bold, brilliant, engaging, shiny, colorful, delectable! Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, one of the best eye-catching structures I saw so far. I love big, gooey gobs of bright colors! And these are BIG buildings. It's like our Merchandise Mart, where manufacturers show their products to retailers and designers.    And if you work in the Pacific Design Center, the photo below shows your inspiring view across the street.

Looking East....
