Reintroducing myself to Bluesky. Last time, there were just a few of us here. This is what I’m up to:

- Growing law firm with my excellent friends/partners.
- Storytelling. Making short films, writing quirky fiction, and making music.
- Curious about the world.

Glad to see you here. 💖💕

Ambulance with its lights on in a long line of traffic at an intersection filled with cars.

Able has moved closer to the light but is still in heavy traffic.

Close on red ambulance from above as it speeds through moving traffic.

Morning toast. #toast

Shimmer stainless four slot steel toaster with Teri slices of crusty artisan toast sticking up. Face of toaster says DeLonghi.

Black and white photo close on the same toast showing only the top four spots with a single piece of crusty Susan toast in it.

A heavily saturated and vivid image of the same toaster with single slice of toast. The toaster is up against the end of a tall wooden cabinet and Bruno’s the device stands a wooden cutting board.

The days are getting shorter and shorter. #sunset #venice

Blazing half dome of the sun sets behind rooftops and palm trees, spilling a few shafts of sunlight through fronds as it goes. Its light bounces off a ceiling of ragged graying clouds.

My cage has a pretty view. #officelife

Looking down a boulevard from high in a building. Tall office buildings line the street. Before us, a ten story building with Bluegreen windows and a graphic of a ribbon across five stories. On the tight, a shimmery copper colored high rise and behind it extending into the distance a rite of office buildings: dark brown, white, yellow and more. Overhead, a mess of rough r edged clouds hang in the sir like a torn sheet of cotton.

Looking up from below through a car windshield at fluffy white clouds and blue skies. On the left, the edge of the car’s steering wheel is visible. In the lower foreground a colorful dash screen is visible. On it are graphics and other shapes.

Lucky ducks. The neighborhood cherishes their duck population. Area donations built this little pond just for them. #ducks

Six ducks splashing and bathing in a little stone pool with dappled sunlight casting the shadows of palm fronds across the avians.

Another of my favorites subjects, here’s the Hollywood sign shot with a longer lens. 145mm on MFT sensor.

White block letters stand on top of a green and brown hillside. The letters spell HOLLYWOOD. another ridge stands behind this ridge. In the foreground another

Sea of homes in the Hollywood Hills. #hollywood

Scores of homes fill the face on a hill all the way up to the long ridge. Trees fill in between. Taker building at the bottom of the hill closer to the foreground.

Cambria, California, last week

Under an azure sky with just a few white clouds, a bird flies from right to left, caught mid-air with wings up in the middle of this image, over a large black rock surrounded by cerulean water and light, white waves

Afternoon in Beverly Hills. #sunny

White grid makes facade of a ten story office building with dark glass windows in large rectangles. A little blue sky peeks in from above.

Griffith Observatory standing on the ridge line of the Hollywood hills. #astronomy

Round observatory building on the long ridge line of a hillside. Giant mountain behind it. Shrubs and trees dot the hills. Buildings at the foot of the hills.

Sunset. Venice. #sunset

Red clouds behind silhouetted trees and a dimming sky surround a busy street. In the foreground, a motorcycle and two cars sit at a crosswalk in near darkness with headlights on. In the opposing lane, taillights of departing cars disappear into the distance.

Dinner and drinks.

Pickles including green cukes, orange carrots, kim chi, white turnips and more on a plate with a rusty red colored drink in a tumbler behind.

Chicken pieces on a skewer sitting on a small ceramic plate. A candle burned behind and there are hard of vinegar and other Asian sauces.

A red cocktail sits in a tumbler with one large ice cube in it. The flicker of a candle burns behind it. In the background, bottles from a bar peek through.

Two hands pour a cocktail from a stainless steel shaker through a strainer into a tumbler. A shot measurer stands next to it. The glow of a candle burns just behind.

This beautiful space with chickens and rabbits and vegetables for all the local restaurants is leaving us soon. Been fun. Thanks for all the eggs.

A beautiful brown chicken struts behind the face of a cage with other little chicks in the far background. Advise the chicken a banner says The Cook’s Kitchen snack animal sanctuary.

Sky blue book cover says VENICE BEACH COLORING BOOK with a subtitle that says Color in 20 iconic Venice scenes. An image on the coloring book depicts the famous sun with the letters V E N I C E strung over a street and beneath it a yellow convertible with a surfboard sticking out the back.

Good morning all. #morning #coffee

Steamed milk pouring into white ceramic mug with coffee in it. A brown frothy mixture rises from the bottom of the cup.

They are getting anxious. #halloween

A row of lighted screaming pumpkins line a narrow fence garden, their white teeth bared and the pumpkin shells glowing orange. Around them, darkness blankets the neighborhood.

Fall spreads its shapes and feels and smells slowly morphing all.

Dozens of piled up green variegated gourds fill the image to its dark edges. They are roughly pumpkin shaped and have little unreadable stickers on some of them. They are piled in a way to suggest they are in a bin but the bin is not in frame.

Fresh ground beans makes the espresso flavorful and robust. #espresso

Dusk. Saturday night. Nowhere.

Dusk. Looking down a suburban street with cars parked on either side. Trees silhouetted in the foreground ands cluster of six tall palm trees in background. The silhouette of a person in the street near the cars parked on the left. The sides of the cars shimmer here and there from the last light of day. An orange porch light is on further down the road. Power lines run overhead. A dark streetlight stands off to the right.
