Solar sneezing — when you walk just before dawn, and as soon as the sun beams down and hits your nose — kerchoo! I’ve learned to bring tissues. Sleeves will only get you so far. . . . . . Time for a #sunnyday cup of #coffee. . #livethelittlethings #beautyofstillmoments #goodmorning #decor #door #heart #outforawalk #pursuepretty #postitfortheaesthetic #thatsdarling #architecture #thehappynow #gooutside #Conquer_LA #LAStory #LostInLA #MyDayInLA #elegance #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #goodreads #socal #story.

He said, “Look at the sunset,” and I glanced up to see the light had turned luminous coral in the sky, so I ran up the stairs and climbed out on the roof for an unfiltered #LA #sunset. . . . . . #goodnight #love #gooutside #pursuepretty #exploretocreate #artofvisuals #palms #MyDayInLA #clouds #bluesky #naturephotography #citylife #LAStory #silhouette #glowing #hollywood #light #thehappynow #discoverearth #writersofinstagram

There are some #words that just set me off, like effulgent. Which is what this image is, #radiant with #light. And the feeling it captures, which is joyful because shortly after I snapped it I saw a very little boy, maybe 18 months old, dressed in a onesie and tennis shoes out waddling along with his father, when he heard a dog bark across the street. The pre-verbal little one broke into a beaming smile then wagged his head and lolled his tongue out and Papa said, “That’s right! It’s a puppy.” Such a moment makes a day worthwhile. And now I’ll get back to my griping — effulgent — a grating word for something glorious. Don’t even get me started on copious. . . . . . #sweet #friday #california #bungalow #architecture #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #amwriting #outforawalk #hollywood #postitfortheaesthetic #thatsdarling #lastory #writersofinstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #socal #story #beautyofstillmoments #home #pursuepretty #agameoftones #artofvisuals #gooutside

How my morning got a #French twist — stopped by my favorite @cafemontrose and found Mme. Pam herself putting a new #sparkle on the #design, and the food? Merveilleux, as alway! It’s #wine #wednesday at the #cafe. Drop in and raise a #glass in #congratulations. Or, if you’re like me, bite into a #strawberry #pastry and revel in #spring. . . . . . #mirror #friends #reflection #portrait #restauranteur #cafe #neighborhood #Paris in #socal #delicious #coffee #bakery #breakfast #lunch #local #bijoux #bistro

Once upon a time I had an astronomy professor who would explain the quality of light and celestial motion in a rrrrolling Germanic accent. He would tell us all about Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), an astronomer — except he said Tycho Brrrrhhh-hay — who besides being a brilliant and precise observer of the heavens before the invention of the telescope, had a few quirks. At university he fought in a duel and thereafter wore a brass nose. He was considered superstitious and in his native country, Denmark, they refer to “Tycho Brahe days,” meaning a whole slew of inauspicious days scattered throughout the calendar. In April there are seven such days. And, not one of them is the 13th. Wishing you a floral Friday, with ❤️. . . . . . #rose #love #petals #blossom #flowers #history #stars #livethelittlethings #lightandshadow #color #story #friday #fridaymood #superb_flowers #bouquet #exploretocreate #art #nature_perfection #chiascuro #jardin #garden #garten #flores #fingerscrossed #goodluck #visualsoflife #MyDayInLA #amwriting

A shout-out to the saintly ladies of Hill Street, who guide us through jury selection with patience, kindness, a bit of wit, and the resolve of the upright. I reported for jury duty the other day and walked into the assembly room as a judge was invoking the words of Martin Luther King, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” I like to remember that, especially now. This is the view from Grand Park, past the superior courts, with City Hall smack-dab in the center. . . . . . #gooutside #cityscape #exploretocreate #think #urban #palms #perspective #architecture #postitfortheaesthetic #dtla #beautyofstillmoments #artofvisuals #agameoftones #thehappynow #Conquer_LA #LAStory #LostInLA #MyDayInLA #elegance #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #goodreads #socal #story #itsinhiskissbyvickielester
