While on vacation in September, we stayed with my cousin in Oroville for a few days. Oroville is the home of the famous Oroville Dam and has been one of the most enduring public images regarding the statewide drought. While driving through downtown, we spotted this fantastic home with the most magnificent street address carved out of the hedge. …

Photography Monday: Danville Concours d’Elegance Part IV
These photos are the last I am going to share with you from this event. With such a great mix of classic cars, we think we will try to attend in the future because the variety was spectacular and well received. The location was superb and all for a great cause. *Tina
Photography Monday: Danville Concours d’Elegance Part III
As I was sorting though more photos, I realized what I like about classic cars. The details. I have always enjoyed the details in art, architecture and design. I derive vast enjoyment from it. With classic cars, the details are like jewelry. The pretty part. So, on with the show. Enjoy! *Tina
Photography Monday: Danville Concours d’Elegance Part II
With more photos to share with you, I wanted to give you a glimpse into this type of event. Most of the owners are very passionate about their cars and will take the time to speak with you if you have questions. Some of these cars have crazy back stories and it is these same…
Photography Monday: Danville Concours d’Elegance
My husband and I were on vacation last week and I have much to share with you. We went on a road trip to visit some familiar sights and explore new areas too. Our first stop was Danville, to visit my brother and his family. On our first night, we walked to dinner and explored…
Photography Monday: Front Door Series #4
The lush landscape leads the eye up to the front door. There is just enough greenery around the door to soften it and welcome you. The wreath and flag are wonderful additions and adds the personal touch. With the heat wave we have been experiencing as of late, the approach to this front door is shady…

I would like to meet the occupant of this home. A small, quaint front porch with stone statues that are appropriate for Tinsel Town. Love the sunglasses! And, I applaud anyone that has the courage to embrace their personal style. Kudos! If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there’d be bodies hanging from every…
Photography Monday: Front Door Series #3
I have always loved red and especially red doors. This red door takes this façade from bland to distinctive. It is unexpected, but necessary to make this front entrance warm and inviting. The brass hardware also makes a mark by providing a lovely contrast to the red door. Simple and refined. Love it! *Tina
Photography Monday: Front Door Series #2
I was sorting through photos to scrapbook and found this photo from the 2012 South Pasadena Garden Tour. I didn’t take that many garden photos because I must not have been amazed by what I saw. But, this front door is fabulous! I love the hinges and that is what makes this door spectacular. …
Photography Monday: Front Porch Series #1
Along with the front door series, I wanted to include a front porch series. We live in a town filled with older homes with many in the Craftsman/Bungalow style. Porches beg you to come and sit a while. Watch the world go by. The teal Adirondack chairs are a wonderful contrast to the warm white…
