darlings
we took a walk up the Canyon yesterday – ostensibly to meet Another Expatriate Writer (don’t you adore Foreign Correspondents?) and then, because we took such nice pictures, to return home to write Next Week’s “Where Shall We Meet” for our delicious Editor at Los Angeles, I’m Yours.
the final piece will be posted Wed (at noon, Pacific Time) so we’ll just give you a taste of the delights of our meandering walk……
You’ll pass Honey Drive and Happy Lane and feel your blood pressure drop considerably. Look up at the Italianate houses as you drift by with ironwork 19th century lanterns, admiring butterflies and hummingbirds and carved cherubs (sometimes wearing sunglasses left by naughty residents), affirmations chalked on stone steps leading to houses with novels piled up winsomely in the paint peeling window frames. If you drive up, you’ll miss all this.
and now we wait. 
admiring the sunrise.
I love those stacks of books. Overflowing books are totally a legitimate decorating element.
agreed.
especially if they have written some of them too (it looked like That sort of a house)
Ha, indeed it does!
Delicious…..
That house with the books looks strangely familiar…but I still think they should have turned at least one stack of books with the spines facing out…one gets so curious to see what others are reading!
This comment is so Ms V, isn’t it? I love it and your beautiful photos which always make me wish that I was right there experiencing all that you saw…
I love all your photo’s (slightly jealous) thats one of my goals….to spend at least three months in LA…..taking pictures of pretty much everything!! ;)
